There were all mod cons, well equipped and it was really cosy and comfy. We found some lovely walks nearby. Mostly though it had the peace and quiet we craved. Our dogs were made to feel really welcome and were well catered for which was important for us.

When we booked there wasnât a picture of the shower room so was slightly anxious but I shouldnât have worried, the shower room is lovely too - with good water pressure. A very comfortable cottage that is well cared for and the owners really go the extra mile to make it a special little sanctuary.

If you want beautiful 360 degree scenic views and peace and quiet this cottage is for you. The cottage itself is equipped to a very high standard, plenty of room and really comfortable. You will not get a better welcome basket anywhere with fresh eggs from the farm and home grown tomatoes and more. Owners lovely- highly recommend
