I can't comment as we didn't go!I had a Pulmonary Embolism four weeks ago and wasn't strong enough.
I can't comment as we didn't go!I had a Pulmonary Embolism four weeks ago and wasn't strong enough. I am sure it would have been ideal and, perhaps we will have the chance to visit another time.🤞
Thank you to Sarah and Dave for having made this lovely, cosy and welcoming appartement in the english country side. Very peaceful. I loved the warmth and vibrance of the wood and stone.
If I have the opportunity, I will be more than happy to come back.

Lovely people and a very nice cottage, the road to the cottage was a bit rough.
Lovely people and a very nice cottage, the road to the cottage was a bit rough. Not much to do close by had to use the car to go anywhere. Toilet cistern needs sorting as it sticks and dose not fill very quickly. The cottage could do with better sound proofing as you can hear all the movement downstairs. Overall a nice place but wouldn’t stay again
