Our cottage was clean and tidy and beautifully decorated throughout. We had two fantastic nights sleep in beautifully appointed bedrooms. Sonja was very friendly and welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay by allowing us to close gates to the courtyard so we could leave the patio doors open and allow our dogs to wander and enjoy the sun allowing me to cook and relax without having to keep one eye on them. The grounds are just stunning and kept very naturally and the walk along the canal was so peaceful the dogs all swam and chased sticks and we could sit and enjoy the place without the sound of anything only the water and birds!!! Truly a very beautiful and peaceful place
