Very comfortable, well equipped cottage with lots of original features. The location is very good too, close to everything. The local pub is great! Thoroughly recommend it!

Nadia

Spent five nights in this wonderful cottage. After a long day's walking and exploring the area it was the most peaceful and relaxing place to come back to for a few drinks in the beautiful garden and then sink into the heavenly soft pillows and bed ready for the next day. Highly recommended for those that like to switch off and escape the hustle and bustle of towns and cities.
