    “The concept of the cottage was fine but the tiny chairs in Tiny Willow were not comfortable.”

    The bed mattress was to soft and for us in particular not firm enough for a good nights sleep. We met one of the owners on arrival and he was very pleasant and helpful. We do a lot of walking but when we went for a walk a lot of the Bridleways where obscured or signs saying No Entry Private Land even though the sign for the Bridleway was pointing in that direction.
