Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds comfy and the living spaces cosy and relaxing. The cottage is noted for its warm and inviting atmosphere.

It provided all the facilities we needed to have a comfortable stay. We loved the little extra touches and the children loved the piano!
