Really enjoyed the peaceful weekend and tranquility just what my wife and I needed. The host were very helpful in giving advice and respected our privacy. They were very clear that anything we needed was to just ask.

Really lovely place in a gorgeous area and the lady who owns the cottage was very kind, which was much appreciated. It was very warm however, with no air con, so I would bear that in mind when planning your holiday!
