This is the second time we have stayed here and loved the cottage as much this time as before. The location is quiet with lovely views and has even more fantastic countryside nearby. The cottage is well-equipped, warm and cozy (this stay was during sub-zero temperatures) and the landlady has added some thoughtful touches to make it comfy as well as pretty.
