This is a lovely, quirky, cosy place to stay. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and underfloor heating soon warmed up the cottage on colder evenings. The views from the cottage are beautiful. A perfect place to stay if you want the benefits of the countryside alongside home comforts.
