Very comfortable and well equipped, roomy cottage in delightful village location. Lots of great walks for our dog (and us). Beautiful part of Warwickshire with lots to see and do ... and pubs to visit. Owner lives close by for anything required (we did not need anything as cottage so well equipped.) Welcome package (wine, home baked cake and milk) a very nice touch.
