Gary & Danielle's Northern Exposure

After a very long day we stayed in this cottage at the bottom of a country garden. We nicknamed the owner, 'Kathryn the Kind' as we were spoiled rotten and that evening Danielle had a pedicure from Kathryn's beauty therapist daughter Rachel Ross.

The following morning we enjoyed a home cooked breakfast. There was homemade chutney, freshly baked bread and free-range eggs, laid by Kathryn's resident hens who were known as 'the ladies'!
