Lovely hot tub and great area to explore. We did leave a couple of things at the cottage and asked the owner to post back to us and paid for the postage. The owner read the messages but completely ignored us and didnât reply and never posted our belongings either.

Peace and quiet mixed with the ability to get around easily. Views are fabulous from the back and the hot tub with the farm animals putting in an appearance from time to time. Could do with a wheely bin with a lid out the front to prevent any spills from wind. Well done to all for a great stay again, see you all again next year. Thankyou.
