The area is a wildlife haven for deer, red squirrels, and birds and their presence just makes a holiday here feel very special.

Amazing find! Quiet, yet surrounded by wildlife. Too many bird species to mention visited bird table from early morning till dusk. Squirrel visted bird table too- knocking off a hanging seed container looking for peanuts. Badger demolished bird table too looking for suet pellets .Many local places of interest too, including a beach within easy reach by car as mixed weather. Lack of wifi when in cottage an advantage as less time spent on phone/tablet. Listened to radio and dogs got more exercise and attention ! Wonderful hosts in Jean and Peter - place very clean and goodies left appreciated. Sad to leave looking forward to next time.
