Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Well equipped and comfortable with great outside spaces ideal to sit with a cuppa and take in the view.

Lovely cottage, good sized for 4 people, spotless, comfortable furniture, well equipped, good showers, plenty of hot water. We loved the local walks and that you could walk from the house without using the car. Very friendly owners.One thing, and it's not mentioned in the description, you have to walk through the ground floor bathroom to get to the stairs to the living room and upper bedroom - bit of an odd layout and could be an issue if you want to get a coffee in the morning without disturbing the other occupants.
