Pretty, cosy and very well equipped cottage with everything you could need for a lovely getaway. The welcome snacks were much appreciated and Heather and James provide a great guide to the local village and trips further afield. By far the highlight for me and my dog were the beautiful grounds, just stunning especially in the Autumn! Plus an enclosed garden just for the cottage and footpaths to follow right from the property. Highly recommended and I’d definitely visit again!

It was a great stay at the cottage. The area is lovely and the yard is beautiful. The boys had a blast paying soccer is the yard. We enjoyed the walk into the town. It is about 30 -40 minutes over fields. Nearby is a cute castle you can visit. You can even go there by boat. The owners of the apartment are very kind and very helpful. Whenever you have a question they have an answer.
