The approach to the cottage is not easy to find up a rough track . Definitely recommend to arrive in the daylight. Though well worth the journey.

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location. The views are stunning. Spent many an evening in the garden. Loved watching the birds at the feeder and birds of prey flying over the valley. Cottage was spotles and equipped with absolutely everything you could need. Decor was very tasteful. Super comfortable bed. Lovely bathroom. The hosts were kind, helpful and all round lovely people! Would 100% recommend this place.
