Had a nice break here, the cottage was a lot smaller than expected but as there were only two of us and Roger,my dog it was ok. Lots of fields around which was lovely for Roger. Weather could have been better, but have to expect rain, it is England. Lovely hot tub to keep me warm.

Lovely cottage with beautiful views of the countryside, not too far at all into the local town of Wellington. Plenty of towels available for both showering and hot tub use which was great. Kitchen supplies basic compared to some cottages stayed at, need to take everything for cooking such as oil and pepper. Great stay overall.
