Lovely cottage and well equipped .
Lovely cottage and well equipped . 4 stars because it took 5 point turn to get out of the drive in an estate car but on a quiet dead end so irksome not dangerous. Steamboat Inn, the only pub/restaurant in the village, is very popular so book early. Lots to see and do in the area.
