Great place, beautifully renovated, comfy beds & everything seemed very new. Lovely little village. We slightly struggled to find it (probably our fault) but the host was very quick to respond and help us on the spot! Would 100% stay again when back in the area. Thank you

Absolutely beautifully restored cottage right where we wanted to be for a weekend away. Only downside was no heating in living / kitchen area which was fine as we used the heaters supplied but had to have them on most of the time due to weather. Everything else was perfect and what we were looking for. Would definitely book again as enjoyed our stay.
