Ali
Fantastic stay at Sheilas little Hideaway. Definitely lived up to its name. The views , listening to nothing but nature with my morning coffee and Shielas knowledge of the area were amazing. We would definitely recommend a stay here. The Bear Inn is worth a visit, one of Sheilas recommendations for food, and has its own brewery. Lovely home, lovely host and lovely holiday. Thank you

Our host was lovely and checked in with us but also left us to it. Wonderful. She wasnt phased that our dog on the book A perfect spot. The cottage was cosy with spectacular views and lovely dark skies at night. No traffic, no noise. Blisfully peaceful Couldnt get the Wi-Fi to work but that actually wasnt a bad thing as we had to disconnect.

A lovely cottage in a very peaceful setting. We had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. There is plenty to do in the local area and we had a very enjoyable few days.
