A stunning home in a beautiful location. This cottage has everything you need, big & spacious & very clean. The welcome pack of snacks & milk in the fridge was a lovely touch & very well received. The fire in the lounge was so cozy on the cold winter nights. The surrounding area is breathtakingly beautiful. We travelled as 2 families with 2 teenage boys who loved the fishing nearby arranged by the very helpful owners. We can’t wait to return to this lovely place hopefully soon. Thank you again for allowing us to visit.
