Cottage was warm and cosy.However it was on a mile long drive which was unmade up and in some places in a very poor condition.Loved the alpacas being just outside the garden.

Lovely cottage. Clean and tidy. I only marked location down one due to it being down a long track with lots of pot holes. Not the owners fault as I understand they don’t own the track. I also would not let this put you off as the cottage is beautiful. The dark skies (if clear) are spectacular.

Lovely cottage which is very clean comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It is at the side of David and Caroline’s farmhouse, beautiful surrounding countryside and they made us feel very welcome. There is a pub and cafe in the village and plenty of walks nearby.
