Lovely property in a beautiful location. Very well equipped home that had all that we could have needed. Only negatives were the overall cleanliness, although most areas were spotless, a lot of cobwebs were found and some areas could have had a more thorough clean. The hot tub was murky and debris in the water. Which once noticed out is off using it again. The glasses/crockery needed washing pre use but I appreciate this might have been the previous occupants fault. Although I’d have expected a quick check to ensure all were clean for our stay. We enjoyed our weekend here and genuinely think the property was lovely, it was only marred slightly by the odd thing that let it down.

The owner Alison called in just after we had arrived and unpacked. A very nice and helpful lady going through the essential details for the cottage and advice about the local area.The cottage was more beautiful than the photos gave it credit for. Very spacious, well equipped and an excellent week was had by us all. We would have no hesitation in recommending it.
