The cottage was very spacious, clean and tidy and the welcome pack was very much appreciated on arrival. The cottage amenities were spot on and the cottage was very warm and comfortable, we enjoyed watching some of the many dvd’s from the extensive library provided. We enjoyed the quiet location and managed to relax for the weekend, we will definitely consider staying here again.

The approach to the cottage is not easy to find up a rough track . Definitely recommend to arrive in the daylight. Though well worth the journey.
