The location is great for short day trips to local areas and scenery. Facilities are fantastic, it has everything you need for a home from home. It is very peaceful and the gardens all around are beautifully tended with lots of loving care. We have already booked for a return stay next year!! The only small thing I might do for older people (like me

It was very well equipped and I especially liked the radio in the bedroom. My only minor niggle is I would prefer larger bath towels as we are a tall family. I'll definitely book again ( I'd like to stay in Summer) as a base to visit family nearby who visited and really liked it. Highly recommend.

It is spacious and very well equipped, a real home from home. It is tastefully furnished and well maintained. The reality surpasses expectations from the photos. It has a great location with a short walk into town. We'd have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. This was our second visit and we booked our third before we left!
