The Old Byre has been thoughtfully converted into a fabulous holiday cottage. It is spacious and full of natural light. The huge bed and the seating are very comfortable. The superb walk in shower, in addition to the bath, is a great bonus. Communication with the owners before our arrival was excellent. The cottage was pristine when we arrived. We were welcomed with a delicious homemade cake, and a bottle of Prosecco as well tea, coffee and biscuits. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.
