"We liked that the cottage was very disabled friendly (as my husband is in a wheelchair and cannot stand). The views and the wildlife were great, but above all the owners made all the difference, lovely couple with a can do attitude to any queries we had, nothing was too much to ask, and they genuinely mean it. What a breath of fresh air in a world where even the swankiest of hotels on occasion don't give two hoots about customer care after they have been paid. Having now found this little gem that suits our needs we will be going back as soon as we can arrange time off work, hopefully this year, but definitely next!"
