Garden cottage is a perfect holiday home. We have had an enjoyable break in this lovely area. The cottage has been warm, cosy and very comfortable while the weather has been sunny but very chilly. We have been visiting the area for over 40 years and garden cottage is the best holiday home by far. We look forward to returning in 2019. Thank you for everything Sian.
