Just a quick line to say we had a super time this weekend. Everyone loved the cottages and were very impressed with the standard of furnishings, fittings, cleanliness and the little touches like the flowers, milk and biscuits in each cottage. Even the weather didn’t stop my brothers taking Dad fishing – not that they caught anything – but Dad had a wonderful time which was the point of the weekend. Thank you both for being so accommodating, I feel sure we will be back for another visit.
