Stayed 3 weeks last year and 4 weeks this year as it is so quiet and peaceful. Super friendly locals as are the hosts Angela and Seymour. The cottage is very clean and cosy with all you need. Nice walks on the doorstep with larger towns not that far away. Perfect place for a couple with two dogs. Definitely would recommend staying here.
