The cottage was perfect with a great view across the valley. Lots of walking in the area and lovely places to visit. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The owners were polite and helpful in giving advice on where to visit in the local area. The accommodation had everything needed for a great holiday. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was comfortable. The views were beautiful from both the lounge and the bedroom. It was a pain having to use the bathroom (which was downstairs) when you are in the bedroom (which is upstairs). It did state this in the 'blurb', but I had clearly missed it. Overall, a great accommodation.
