Nestled on a hillside, it has an authentic cottage style. Sheep graze the surrounding fields and the horizon is fringed with mountains. Lovely established hedgerows line the narrow, winding lanes that lead to the cottage. The area has a lot of winding lanes, so this is a holiday for those who want to slow their pace of life. Moonlight Cottage and its owner are very welcoming and a lot of thought has clearly gone into providing a homely, well-equipped rural retreat.

Had everything we needed and was so comfortable. The scenery was superb. I didnât want to leave. We would highly recommend this cottage for lazy days in the peace and quiet or ten miles for the lovely beach.
