Honeysuckle Cottage! It was lovely and warm when we arrived and the radio was playing. Jon asked me to text him when about 30mins-1 hour away and I dropped him a message when we arrived and he popped round to meet us and talk through a few bits. There wasnt many radiators as the floor was heated which I thought was brilliant definitely a more aesthRead moreetically pleasing look. So many comfy seats to pick from. The kitchen was fully kitted out so we could do as we pleased Hide
