Summary: We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is a beautifully restored 1860s building, perfectly presented with all the little thoughtful touches that make your stay so enjoyable. Surrounded by stunning gardens and views, with the scent of lavender coming through the patio, we absolutely loved the spa with views of the rolling fields. Would love to come back one day. Double check the address with the host to make sure you get the right driveway!
