16th – 30th September 2023

September 30, 2023 by Alison in

Thank you Alison & Craig for your warm welcome to your beautiful cottage. We loved the way you have refurbished it, so sympathetically. So tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. It was an ideal base for us to visit family and my husband’s childhood haunts. We enjoyed the Antartex Village in Alexandria.
Unfortunately the weather hasn’t been good but we made the best of it.

Thank you again,
Arthur, Molly & Ben (Labrador) from Northern Ireland
