    Beautiful cottage. Tastefully decorated, including for Christmas. Warm with excellent heating and very effective log burner. Perfectly equipped cottage. We didn't want to leave. Very quiet location, lovely to watch the sunrise. Excellent communication both from Rural Retreats and the owner. Very highly recommended. Couldn't fault it.
