Wonderful place to stay! Best holiday cottage by far that we’ve stayed in and weve stayed in loads. Comfy beds, superb modern house in what feels like the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous walks from the door- perfect for our 2 dogs, having a huge secure garden. Loved the hot tub with a view. Our host Tim was lovely, very helpful but not intrusive at all. Booking again for next year! Thanks Tim. Completely perfect holiday had by all- helped by the fabulous heatwave all week!
