A lovely property and outdoor spaces. Really well presented and quiet. I really appreciate the small touches like the biscuits upon arrival, and the basket with dog blankets, towel and treats! There is a convenient shop with a good albeit small range a short distance away but all other main villages and towns are around a 30 minute drive away - but the cottage was so relaxing it was a pleasure to spend a good amount of time there anyway!

Ideally suited for us and ideally situated for anybody. The access to Youtube, the internet and other providers is a big plus these days.
