Nice clean and modern well equpped accomodation. Living room area disappointingly small and sparse( not really evident from photos). Even though the cottage is positioned within a farm, the farm itself is directly opposite a small housing estate. You may be disappointed if you were looking for a true rural experience with open countryside views. We had a pleasant stay but probably will not return.
