Pathway to heaven
Long long drive to get there from the cold North where winter is coming to a splendid little village in a delightful autumnal setting of gardens and laden fruit trees. With hardly anyone else there it was hard not to feel that it was all ours, comfy cottage, warm and well fitted if a little too nineties for modern decor lovers. This quiet retreat is perfect territory if you have lots of family who prefer their own space but love good company in the spacious gardens. The pool is devastatingly gorgeous warm and inviting after walks in the villages only slightly less brilliant than the Plough at Kingham where we had the best meal in ages.
