    “We want you to know that we had a lovely stay and would certainly return.”

    We can't get over how cosy and so well 'stocked' the Cottage was which has never been our experience with the 'competition' out there. What a treat. You are most trusting and we hope others who stay there are just as respectful as we tried to be. We'd love to know more about the Cottages architecture and its history. You take care and once again - you deserve a big "thank you" Graham and Helena
