This is because we felt very uncomfortable in the cottage which was cramped and, I'm sorry to say, soulless. There was no welcome, just a very long list of instructions and rules which made us feel inferior and unworthy of a much needed holiday. The stair gate with its notice of rules was the first thing we encountered on entering the property and it was just disheartening and depressing. The cottage was very clean. We liked the goats and pigs very much.

In particular, the bed in the main bedroom was extremely comfortable. A lovely, quiet location but ideal for touring the region. Last but not least, the owner was very helpful. Our stay was a short one but we would have liked to stay longer.

Such a great place for all ages, the goats and pigs were a great surprise! My son fed them everyday and loved going to see them. The owners make sure that you are happy and comfortable your full stay. 10/10 recommended!
