Lovely cottage. Everything you need from a holiday home. Extremely clean and would definitely recommend.Ev charging was quite expensive - we have a phev and would have been more economic to have just used petrol - even given the current high fuel prices.

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Spacious, clean and bright. Lots of equipment available too. The downstairs room is very good for people with disabilities. The views, and the entertainment from the sheep, were added bonuses. It’s a great place to take your dog as well. Neil and Rachel were there if you needed them and were very friendly. Definitely going back.
