Hi, my name is Julie and my husband is Robin. We live in close proximity to the
Cottage and both enjoy gardening and walking in the countryside. We value our privacy and would ask that you respect this by not entering the adjacent property on the east side of the cottage. However you are most welcome to wander around the section where the cottage is located and enjoy the trees and pond area. On occasion you may hear whistling frog's which we have established in the pond and you may even spot a tadpole or two!
