We had a lovely time at the cottage. Sandy and Andrew were perfect hosts with the added benefit of Flora and Peggy 'patrolling' the grounds and the two comical sheep eager for attention. It was a perfect spot to relax, taking in the stars at night over a glass of wine and yet close to the A272 connecting up all the surrounding villages.
