It is very nicely furnished, comfortable, with plenty of parking and within easy reach of many beauty spots and good walks. David and Sally are very friendly and helpful.

It has everything you need. If I was being really pickyâ¦a screen on the shower to avoid water splashing on the floor and wall which will in time, spoil the tongue & groove. But really, the cottage is perfect. Weâd like to come back.
