So many lovely walks nearby and very quiet. Very comfortable and nice neighbours. It was also dog friendly but the small pleasant sitting out area is not very secure for a lively dog who might get out and chase the neighbouring chickens. There's a wonderful back garden but you do have to walk round to it. Thank you to Ute who looks after the cottage and is there when needed.

The location is beautiful and the house is homely and comfortable. The host was very welcoming and generous, she made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some homemade jam to take home. We would love to come back again!

The location is a hidden gem, very quiet and pretty yer year to attractions, towns, walks and facilities. The cottage itself is cosy and clean. We cooked in the kitchen which had everything you would need to make an array of meals and the wood burner was cosy of an evening. Dog friendly and we also had a four year old who loved playing with the Lego in the games cupboard. The living space is cosy but this wasn't a problem for us and the bedrooms were good sizes. Utes homemade plum jam also delicious! Would definitely go back and recommend.
