Lovely cottage if you like peace and wildlife, track leading to house not for a nervous driver. Well equipped. No problem with cleanliness though mattresses slightly old and lumpy. Good location most places we visited less than 40 minutes away. Due to rural location Wi-Fi quite poor which was an issue for our teens but if seeking peace it’s great.
