We moved from the area 2 years ago and came to catch up with friends and family. Loved the remote cottage which is easily accessible on a tarmac road, the views and countryside are as I remember - beautiful. The lambs being born and the roaming chickens were also a lovely site.The cottage had everything you could need for your comfort, a very enjoyable stay.

We had a lovely short break in The Stable, visiting friends nearby. It is very small and cosy but had everything we needed. We were very warm and the views were beautiful.
