we loved our stay. stone cottage, beautiful garden and surrounds, we didn't get a chance to play giant chess! easy walk to town and check out the homes along the way. lots of lovely little touches-especially loved the fresh coffee!. Continental Breakfast was more than adequate for two. beautiful fresh linens, and plump pillows were easy to snuggle into. only downside was the outside streetlight- eyemask for light sleepers. and traffic starts early- but the tradeoff is a great little cottage to stay with lovely helpful hosts.
