An adorable little cottage perfect for relaxing and taking a step back from life. The location is great, whilst you are there it’s peaceful and quiet with lots of walks but you are still only a short drive away from everything you’d need. The cottage itself is fully equipped and perfect for two people. The stream running past the cottage is lovely to listen to and the patio area has great views of the lake and country side.

The owner was welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and welcomed us despite the last minute booking beyond the end of his normal season. Gorgeous area. Fantastic relaxing stay with river sounds at night.
