We looked for a holiday out of the way to relax and unwind, and that’s exactly what we got. A lovely warming cottage out in the country with lovely views. Ideal location for the whole family. My Grandaughter loved watching the tractors going about their day, visits from the sheep, farm dog and the swallows nesting on the cottage.The cottage had every thing you needed and in between visits to the local area and surrounding islands we even managed to complete some jigsaws. Only regret was not being able to use the log burner at the cottage, but that was due to the lovely weather. Fab time and happy to return.

Cottage is in need of a refirb.Sofas old and so low can't get off them.Cushion covers dirtyA well stocked kitchen but some pots chipped.Dishwasher not working.A bottle of kitchen cleaner left but full of water.Games supplied pack of cards, cards missing. Dominoes. Pieces missing.Showers were cold and just dribbled. We used the bath.Beds oh dear so so uncomfortable, they are old I removed mattress cover, I wish I hadn't stains on top of stains. Need replacing. Garden looks like it's not been touched in years over grown the paths covered in grass and weeds. When we arrived we had to clear dog poo it was all over. Apart from that we made the most of the beautiful scenery and walks around.
