Beautiful cottage with all the essentials. Cosy and welcoming especially in the evening with the log fire. The garden is beautiful and very peaceful with an array of wildlife.

Beautiful cottage and surroundings, stunning views, walks which we took advantage of with our two dogs. The pub located nearby had been closed, fully stocked cottage with welcoming touches for the dogs and wine for the humans. Would highly recommend if you want a full recharge .

Beautiful cottage and garden. Very clean and comfortable, with attention to detail, and hosts made both us and dogs very welcome. It is perfect for a quiet relaxed holiday, with woodland walks, little beaches for awimming and a comfortable place to relax. I gave local amenities only 3 star becaise the Inn opposite was closed while we were there and there was no sign of the gallery which we thought was next door. It didn't matter very much to us.
