Fantastic break at this wonderful property. Perfect for our family group of 8 adults, especially as it had a bedroom downstairs with en suite which was perfect for my elderly parents. Had everything we needed and more. Welcome pack appreciated. Great walks for the dog locally and 2 fantastic pubs in the village. Went to The Falcon for drinks, pool and darts and The Crown for a wonderful evening meal. Friendly service and log fires at both.

A beautiful house which we stayed in over the Christmas period. Everything anyone could ask for including two local pubs, a beautiful church which hosted a cherrie Xmas Eve Mass and a local store all within walking distance. The owner was very warm and welcoming and gave us lots of useful information for our stay and trips out around the area. We have stayed in many holiday cottages in the past, but this was by far my favourite.
