Guest comments
Thank you for your warm hospitality on our recent visit. We found Willow Cottage delightful and really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very well equipped and the location idyllic - we will recommend it to our friends.
My boyfriend proposed to me, so romantic, Willow Cottage will hold such special memories.
We had a wonderful time, the cottage is beautiful and I can't think of a single thing to criticise. The fact that there was no signal on my mobile just added to the peace and quiet.
