Extremely comfortable bed and lounge area. We were made really welcome by the hosts on arrival. This cottage has a lovely atmosphere. We were especially grateful for the thoughtful little extras provided. After a day's walking (it's a fabulous area for the walks and hikes), it was such a relaxing cottage to return to; the glorious views are a bonus. Highly recommended.
