It was clean and the storage heaters warm up very fast so was extremely cozy. Was lovely and peaceful and no one bothered us during our stay. Really helpful information and instructions given.

The area was fabulous for walking, weather wasnât so good but we managed to get out every day somewhere different. Very quiet and peaceful and our dog was really happy there. The owners were very kind, friendly and helpful, to the point of saving me a 2 mile walk! Thank you! Well worth a visit to this comfy cottage and lovely area.

Lovely bijou place ideal for one woman and her dog. Shame British Summer failed to appear which meant drying clothes rather difficult between walks.
