Delightful, exactly as expected from looking at the on-line photographs. We especially enjoyed having a private out door space with a wonderful view. The size and layout is perfect for a couple, the kitchen is generously sized for a property of this size, the separate living room similarly generous, its easy to use and with good weather a really relaxing place to unwind being able to step from the living room straight into the outdoors with a spectacular view. Whether sunny or not, the view and scenery are wonderful. We could make a circular walk from the property which is always good on the first day, i.e. not getting into the car. The garden is well maintained and aids in the sense of privacy, the construction materials (dry stone walls) are redolent of the area. We enjoyed the nearby independent shops, Plumgarths and Lovingly Artisan
