Perfect Location, Property and Host
This is the 2nd time we have stayed and Karl and his Mum are lovely hosts. The cottage is well kitted out with everything you need (Including a hair dryer!). We arrived and it was immaculate. A lovely large kitchen with microwave, oven, washing machine, fridge and freezer The living room is spacious and the log burner was ideal when coming in after a long day out. Two bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with 2 single beds. - Very comfortable Views from the bedroom overlook a lovely secluded garden which is available for use during your stay. Overall everything was just perfect. Will definitely be booking again.

Lovely little bolt hole
Found the property a little dark but I struggle with my eyesight. The settees could do with replacing as us oldies found it too soft and hard to get up 😫. Bed was lovely and comfy. Perfect for dogs as totally enclosed and secure . Karl was the perfect host

Perfect
We had a lovely stay in the cottage for a week. The garden was amazing with all the beautiful flowers to look at and the butterflies and birds that flew over. Very well equipped house and the host was very friendly and helpful. The area is just beautiful with a 20 minute walk to town and various walks to do from the cottage. Would definitely recommend.
