Perfect.bachelor to find it), we found it to be in a nice quiet location. Spacious downstairs with the amenities you would expect. The spiral staircase was a snug fit going up and down, the bedroom ample enough with adequate storage. The downstairs bathroom was designed and finished nicely. However the shower height was restricting if over 6ft. In all a very nice and comfortable weekend stay.

The owner Paul was friendly and helpful re places to visit and we sat outside many late afternoons/evening's enjoying the garden views and peaceful surroundings. We would recommend and intend to return in the near future.

In the kitchen, clothes, dish tabs,kitchen roll, salt n pepper etc. The cottage was lovely and warm, much appreciated. The wine and snacks a nice touch too. Outside is gorgeous with Llamas and sheep in the field. Nice table and chairs with cushions for dining outside. The stairs were a challenge for me and the bed could be softer but that's all. Thank you a very good home from home.
