On this second (very) hot and lazy day I am feeling the urge to write slowly returning. As we both hoped this short interlude is allowing us to relax a little more thoroughly than has been possible for these last few months.
Once we decided on an area to visit between Cornwall & East Sussex our normal methods of research, combined with availability, led us to a shortlist of just 2 places. Our past self catering experiences and reliable ‘gut feeling’ were clear that Laburnum Cottage in Ashmore was the right choice and so it proved.
None of the photos can adequately portray the deep sense of peace about this place OR (indeed) the owner’s impact. Gilly is an artist (“only an amateur” she said) but her eye for design & detail are all over it. Great and good quality equipment, the odd touch like the jam jar with flowers in the conservatory and this in one of the fireplaces
We are enjoying our stay, the area and doing very little – next week we have more of a focus (vineyards) but we will find it hard to leave this place.
