A spot of paradise

We spent a wonderful time (17 days) at a wonderful place with wonderful hosts. The cottage is part of an old traditional farmhouse from the 18th century that the hosts have rebuilt and renovated all by themselves. And what they have accomplished!! Everything looks pretty, comfortable, taken care of, well-kept. The garden and the entrance are full of beautiful flowers and plants. The cottage was just as described: comfortable, well-equipped, spotless, nicely and warmly furnished. And Catherine and Shaun are simply wonderful hosts, the best you can wish for: always available and quick to respond if you have a question or request. They are kind and warmhearted and fully dedicated to their guests and to improving the property. And it is a joy to talk to them - inspiring. In the cottage there was a folder with all the information you need for the cottage and around the property and with lots of good tips for excursions. The garden is just praradise, beautiful and quiet and spaceous. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would love to come back. Thank you so much for a lovely stay and your kindness, Catherine and Shaun!!!!!
