A beautiful cottage in a stunning garden and in a very peaceful setting.Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Good welcome pack. The only downside for us were the stairs which are steep and narrow with no handrails, We knew they were difficult from the owners description but hadn’t expected to find them quite such hard work. However there is an immaculate very ‘posh’ outside toilet which means in reality you only need to use the stairs to go to bed and get up in the morning if you are organised!.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this cottage is. Above and beyond expectations. Fixtures and fittings finish the home off to a little dream you dont want to wake from. Were not actually sharing where this place with friends so we can keep it to ourselves for the next rip and many more. Thankyou so much to hosts Nina and Mike. Very attentive and What a stunning home! See you again soon.
