Well equipped and lots of personal touches which make it stand out. Great views, quiet location but not too far from shops, pubs, restaurants etc.

Attention to detail is outstanding, and the house is spotlessly maintained. Location feels much more remote than it actually is, if that makes sense. Perfect for a few days away from it all.

The kitchen was equipoped with everything you could need and there was even a freezer under a car port area where you could put food if you were self-catering. The whole area is lovely and we will certainly be looking to go back and would definitely use this cottage again if it were available.
