A stunning cottage in a beautiful location.A lovely welcome gift was left tailored to our family which was a thoughtful touch. The welcome pack is also incredibly detailed for the house and surrounding area.Nicky is a great host who managed to get an issue with the tap sorted within an hour of reporting it to her.Nicky helpfully provided detailed instructions on how to reach the cottage due to its location and we would suggest you load these in advance due to the signal in the area.In all, a perfect location to be unplugged and enjoy family time.
