Lovely cottage and great views. Very well stocked with everything we would need. Great locations for visits or simple walks around the countryside

An extremely well stocked place - owners have thought of everything you could possibly need - and a few (very much appreciated) goodies on arrival (bread, milk, butter, eggs, tea, coffee, jam and local biscuits). Off the beaten track location which was ideal for us and our two dogs. The only downside is the low fencing in the garden which meant dogs could not be let off outside. A real shame as this was the main reason we chose the cottage in the first place but if that’s not important to you, I’d say go for it!
