quaint cottage retreat

generous servingsfriendly hostscottage views
The breakfast was fantastic, offering plentiful choices and generous servings. I particularly enjoyed the porridge with bee juice! kim and peter were excellent, friendly hosts. They ensured a nice stay! we stayed in a room in the cottage with views over the garden where squirrels were foraging on the lawn.
the parking space, though available, was a bit tight to maneuver into, especially with a larger vehicle.
Rooms

The room was very clean, it was well appointed and full of character, i noticed. The bed was particularly comfortable! the tea, coffee, and biscuit tray were replenished every day so i had everything i wanted.

The owners met us upon arrival. They helped take our luggage to our room, which i found very thoughtful! nothing seemed too much trouble for kim and peter, they really were pretty good for us, though. We really felt at home.
