Emma
The location is idyllic and there are lots of walks straight from the cottage to the nearby villages. The cottage itself is stunning and had everything I needed for my stay. Everything was exceptionally clean and the cottage feels very light and airy. My dog particularly liked laying at the french doors and watching the world go by. Travelling alone, I am always grateful for nearby parking when having to unload bags and dog etc. and having parting right outside the property is perfect. I didn't use the outdoor area as the weekend was more walking than sunbathing weather but it was nice having an outside area that was secure and I could let the dog out in to. I will definitely be recommending the cottage to friends and family

It was well equipped and very cosy. Having the garden was helpful and would have been a lovely place to enjoy supper with a glass of wine had the weather been better. It was very easy to walk to three villages for supplies, and a quick drive for a number of activities we had planned, so it was a great location. I would definitely recommend and return to, should we holiday in the area again.
