So glad we found this little gem. Lovely cottage, conformable and well equipped. Quiet location but towns & sight seeing spots not far away. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.Sat nav took us straight there, the green cones left out by the hosts directed us to the little lane as its quite hidden. Make sure you read the excellent online guide provided as it is very helpful.

Cottage was very comfortable, quiet and well equipped, and the hot tub much enjoyed . If you drive a very short distance there are great places to walk with amazing views but there are no local shops so you really do need to go well prepared.Be warned that the entry key pad is stiff and difficult to use - even given the guidance in the owners information guide - you need to use 2 hands. As a 3 generation group of adults some of us needed to visit the bathroom during the night - some of the doors stick badly which disturbed the rest of the house. Our only other negative was inheriting a dirty sports sock in the corner of the kitchen - strangely at odds with the general good standard of cleanliness.
