What a lovely cottage in an idyllic environment. All facilities, instructions and arrangements were immaculate. So nice for a city dweller to wake up in beautiful, evidently productive and lovingly cared for countryside. The cottage is very comfortable with nice small touches and clear information. Would love to visit again and highly recommend to others.

It’s a beautiful location. Narrow single track roads on approach. Good walks from doorstep. Good and interesting places to visit. We only stayed a weekend but would have easily filled a week with things to do. We missed the sheep shearing too!
