Joanne
) The location were beautiful and although rural, close to the main roads via a 5 min drive along a 1 lane track. We got a warm welcome to the cottage from Ann and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It ensured we had a relaxing and happy stay which was needed. The beds were clean and comfortable. Quiet at night and car parked a small walk away from the cottage. Plenty of space in the cottage, cosy warm. Powerful shower but cubicle slightly small. If a larger person may struggle to wash in there. Kitchen provided most of what was needed for us to cook a range of meals. A measuring jug, pair of scissors and spatula would be useful additions. Good to have a dishwasher and washing machine. Wifi was intermittent at times but we used that as an advantage to get teenage daughter off their phones. Overall a fabulous place to stay and would recommend. Good value for money with a location close to many other towns/attractions.
