A beautiful stay at this cottage you will not be disappointed. Very quiet stay with just the sheep as company which makes it great. Your out the way on top of the hill and left to your own devices. So if you are looking for a quiet holiday home to stay in then this is the place for you. We enjoyed our stay there so much we will be back.

Lovely, comfortable cottage. Peaceful location but close enough to shops, it's a perfect base for exploring the area. The views are amazing and the little sun room is ideal for enjoying the view, whatever the weather. Well equipped and very clean. Perfect!

Wunderschöne, sehr gemütliche Unterkunft in toller ruhiger Lage. Besonders der Kaminofen und der Wintergarten haben unseren Aufenthalt perfekt gemacht. Die Schafe direkt vor der Tür waren für uns ein absolutes Highlight und dank der guten Schallisolierung der Unterkunft gab es keinerlei Lärmbelästigung. Alles war super organisiert und die Kommunikation über Handy jederzeit zuverläsig und unkompliziert. Auto ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert (vor allem, wenn es gut über Schotter bergauf fahren kann - so viel Ruhe gibt es nicht an der Teerstraße ;) ), Parken direkt vor der Haustüre möglich. Die Waserqualität wird regelmäßig geprüft - gegebenenfalls darauf einstellen Trinkwaser einzukaufen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
