This was our first experience of a true Kiwi welcome; upon our arrival Jacqui made us a welcoming cup of tea and we explored the beautiful gardens, with splendid views, together.

Cotswold Cottage sits on top of a small hill overlooking the sea, racecourse and mountains, and is surrounded by a beautiful garden.

We ended up leaving for dinner in Thames before they... more
