“Noah's Ark!”
Had the cottage been a disappointment our holiday would have been a wash-out on account of the deluges of rain. However, it was a delight - comfy, warm and spotless. We arrived to a welcome from Phil and a delicious cake made by Sue, so, with tea and milk provided, even fresh flowers in the kitchen, we got off to a great start. The decor of this restored cottage is serene and the pretty, well cared for garden lovely to look at, and, weather permitting, to sit in. The friendly community shop opposite is a great boon - daily newspapers, artisan bread and daily essentials, as well as a little cafe. The chacterful Fleece Inn is just down the street and the ancient Church of St Leonard right next door. Despite the rain, we managed to visit Hidcote, Kiftgate, Batsford, and many of the idyllic small villages nearby. The ambience of the cottage, with its spacious two bedrooms (comfy beds with well chosen bed linen,) beautifully tiled contemporary styled shower room, cosy living area (large, wummfy sofa and luxurious armchair, dining table and four chairs), clever storage and user friendly mod kitchen, was great. We loved it! Thank you Susan and Phil.
