What a beautiful cottage. It is so well presented. The quality and comfort of the furnishings, the wonderful shower room, the fully fitted kitchen, the fantastic welcome pack, all the garden furniture, everything has been provided. We had a wonderful week in the peaceful surroundings. Possibly the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

The cottage was totally immaculate, with tasteful, functional furnishings. The kitchen provided all we required. The site offers total privacy, with rural views in all directions and no other visible dwellings. Our dog was able to roam free, with secure fencing all around - even the neighbouring sheep were safely tucked away from his ceaseless curiosity. Top marks all around.
