Had a nice relaxing stay in a very rural location with lovely walks on the doorstep! The cabin needs some TLC & furniture needs updating, but Lyn was a great host & left some lovely homemade scones & bubbly! ❤️

Amazing in the middle of nowhere just what we wanted. Beautiful walks for the dogs and the owner lyn was amazing. Take boots it gets muddy, cottage does need a good deep clean but still clean enough to relax in. Local shops is a garage only and further afield for a supper market so would take what you need
