The cottage is beautifully situated but a little tired . No tvs in bedrooms ( as specified in details ) , a sofa that is collapsed ( previously commented on by others ) , the bathroom sink is coming off the wall , one single mattress needs replacing as the springs can be felt , the windows need cleaning and the cottage is generally tired.

The owner is a delightfully friendly and amenable man. He made our stay very easy and relaxing. Could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. The property was as described and the view was perfect. Watching the spring lambs was a bonus, eventhough it is a working farm there was no noise, apart from the odd sheep or cow. Thank you and will definately try and visit again.
