Perfect!
We loved Smitty House! The kitchen was a highlight....a great gathering spot. Loved the layout with the bench and table. Great for morning coffee or evening meal. A lovely, well appointed home. Very well managed. Great communication with Michael. Nicely done! And Tongue? Somebody dropped a "cute bomb" on the place. What a picturesque setting. We would actively seek out a stay with the host properties on any return visit. Thank you again for your great communication and warm hospitality!

A very well equipped and lovely cottage in a beautiful location in a nice village with 2 hotels / restaurants and a very useful and well stocked post office and shop. Some new and good furniture in the cottage, just needed some coasters and place mats.
