    Thanks for this very kind review. I see that the only thing that you didn’t like was reversing out of the curving driveway. Some other guests have commented on this. But it’s a country cottage so we can’t change the landscape.i reverse in, its downhill and much easier! Malcolm

    Response from the manager
    The gardener was there when these two ladies arrived. He said that there was a bad atmosphere between them. They really didn’t want to stay. He apologised for the fact that the housekeeper had been delayed but said that the cottage would be done within the hour. They could leave their luggage and take a walk, or just sit in the kitchen and make a cup of tea. But they just left and demanded their money back plus travelling expenses! We wouldn’t want them again.
