This cottage was amazing. The views, the fireplace and heated floors, everything overall was just perfect. They also had lots of books and dvds to choose from and also board games which was a bonus. Very friendly hosts, and you even get some fresh milk. Definitely planning to come back.

We had a very warm welcome from Sue and Caitlin who helped us with questions about the area. The accommodation was fantastic and the location was perfect for us as we wanted a peaceful stay but we were within an hours drive of some fantastic walks. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and next time we may even let our boys come along! Haha!
