There is a well equipped dining kitchen with lovely views over the extensive garden. The lounge area has a cosy wood burner and a patio door onto the decking. We've already booked for next year!

Itâs a lovely, clean, warm and comfortable little cottage with everything you need for a perfect holiday. An ideal base to explore the area both by car and on foot. So many amazing walks right on the doorstep - no need to use the car except for supplies! Sitting in front of the fire and watching the array of birds on the feeders is a joy in itself. Highly recommend
