Kate was great. We loved being back in the trees - even on the warmer days the cottage stayed cool and comfortable. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful. And having the bed in the loft (with full privacy curtains, if needed), had great a great view and really decent airflow.

Firewood was provided (not that we needed any during the fantastic weather we had). Spice cupboard was well stocked. Decent supply of dishes to use. Good selection of DVD, VHS, and CDs to self-entertain with.

The dogs were quite entertaining, and were never an issue. Kate's main garden is also quite amazing.

All in all, very relaxing. We loved staying here. Highly recommended!

One thing to keep in mind - bed is upstairs, only bathroom is on the main floor. If you have issues with stairs (especially in the middle of the night) this may not be the best option for you....
