A day at the garden

Very comfortable, well presented cottage. The owner provides a good range of food items so you can do yourself a generous breakfast. It's a very interesting part of the country, a dramatic limestone landscape. Her gardens provide very pleasant walks. We had a very pleasant overnight stay.

Slice of paradise

This is a wonderful cottage! It is so well equipped and Jill is such a warmhearted and helpful person! All the tasty food she provides - the cake was just awesome. And the surrounding garden is a treasure, so many spots to sit and watch the beautiful scenery. Will be back. Thanks a lot, Jill!
