Miss Kilby Nov 2019
charming cottage in perfect location, did not need to use our car at all, amenities right on the doorstep. Very good that we could unload our car outside the property as roads are so tiny. Interior beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches. Brand new kitchen & bathroom. Furniture and decor extremely delightful. Ideal for two adults and a small dog. Local shop supplied good quality food and wine. Perfect for art lovers and potters. Cannot wait to go back!

The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to cook a delicious duck for our Christmas dinner. Thank you so much for decorating the property in Christmas decorations- what a lovely surprise and made it feel like a home from home.
