Our visit to Ivy Cottage was wonderful.
Our visit to Ivy Cottage was wonderful. A cosy, well equipped cottage which was welcoming and comfortable. We settled in immediately and our little dog was very happy. We were made to feel welcome by the owners yet we had our own privacy. Good kitchen knives, a decent frying pan and a great hoover. These are good markers for us.
