We had a fabulous stay for a whole week, the location is glorious with beautiful views and the cottage was very comfortable, well stocked and clean. The beds were particularly good, both in size and in good quality mattresses, and the showers were warm and powerful. The area is so peaceful and we all slept really well, we saw the horses and lots of birds, and a bat at twilight much to the joy of our nature obsessed daughter. We would stay again and recommend to anyone

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful area and very quiet. Our only complaint would be the outside seating area is not easily accessible so we did not use it. Seating outside the front door would have been much better.
