  Brilliant close to nature experience

  Left on 05/27/2012 for a stay in April 2012
  
  

  Cottage was well appointed and pretty comfie.the bed was high but very
  Comfortable with plenty of pristine bedding.we were disappointed that the lovely wood stove was decorative rather than functional.it was one of the
  Criteria for the booking that we specially asked for .the heating was good but
  the stove would have made it more cosy.we have a stove at home so are
  spoilt.we also didn't find the seating in the sitting room was very comfy.I think
  The cottage was more suited to hikers or riders.we did enjoy our break and our hostess was very kind and helpful.the nature on the doorstep was lovely
  we especially loved the red squirrels and nuthatch
