    Lots of friends have asked where I was staying and they will be looking into booking themselves. Will be booking again!

  • Lillian

    Didn’t know which was which. And that’s all! Excellent cottage, second visit and we’ll be back

  • Sara

    The location and views were superb; the accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming and everything had been done to make us feel at ease there. Swimming in the quarry was so peaceful and again, just beautiful. We had an amazing weekend and will be back, hopefully for longer next time.
