    “The old dairy is a lovely cottage in a fabulous location.”

    It had most things we needed, however it was a heatwave week and be aware there is no garden furniture apart from the heavy wooden pub style bench or parasols for shade. Like a few others have said, the internet connection is poor, maybe it’s the trade off for the fabulous rural location. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the dog who was fixated with the hedgehogs at night.
