This has to be one of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed at. The house was very clean with first class utilities. The owner was on site and was available should we need to contact him as was his daughter Georgina, who was so helpful in advising us about best walks etc. The surrounding garden area has a beautiful stream and waterfalls and lovely seating areas in which to reflect and watch the birds and wildlife.We will undoubtedly hope to return in the near future.

We had a lovely time at the cottage. It was comfortable and cozy. There is everything in the kitchen that you need. It was charmingly decorated too. Some lovely touches. The beds were comfortable. The grounds are stunning with the stream flowing past. Georgina was very welcoming. Definitely worth a visit
