Enjoyed the holiday, lovely little cottage - went for the peace and quiet - sadly not as peaceful as we had hoped had a constant thumping bass beat of rave party event , albeit not nearby but could be heard inside the cottage from Friday evening till Sunday evening, however Monday was peaceful when they left.- i suspect it's not too frequent but probably wouldn't risk it again.

I stayed at this lovely cottage for 5 days with a friend and we had a blast! It's fantastic value for money, so comfortable and serene. We enjoyed waking up each morning having coffee together in the sunshine and listening to the wildlife. Lovely bathrooms, comfy beds, cooking facilities were great - just a wonderful time thank you so much!
