"What a wonderful experience to stay at the cottage."
It was a great get-away for the whole family. We hope to return.
-
"Stunning cottage in an amazing part of the country ."
The cottage is well positioned for exploring the local area, but equally peaceful to soak up the hilltop views. Definitely recommend!

"The cottage is beautiful."
The kitchen could do with some TLC. No extractor fan above the hob caused a lot of condensation to accumulate on units above. This will cause the units to swell and burst. Understand some refurbishment is still underway. Fantastic location, lovely garden, beautiful surroundings.
Thank you so much for your comments and being such lovely guests. Additional extractor fan advice noted! I've enjoyed reading your notes in the book about the places you've visited. We hope to see you again too :) Property Owner
