Beautiful cottage, absolutely perfect for what we wanted - the owners were absolutely lovely too, making sure we had everything we needed and giving us local recommendations for pubs, hikes and drives, as well as the lay of the land. The inside is spotlessly clean and well equipped with crockery/cutlery/cooking equipment, and both the sofa and bed were very comfy. Also great having two bathrooms for getting ready. The main draw for us was the hot tub with a view, and wow - it did not disappoint! So tranquil, private (apart from seeing the sheep and lambs in the nearby fields) and the landscape was something from a painting. We knew this was next to the owner's farm, but despite this everything was so quiet and had none of the farm smells you might expect. Honestly, no downsides!
