We had a wonderful stay at this charming and welcoming cottage. It felt cosy from the moment we arrived, and there were plenty of beautiful walks right on the doorstep. Jenny, the owner, was absolutely lovely to chat with and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

We were made to feel welcome immediately when we discovered a cream tea waiting for us on arrival! The Bing was perfect for us to use as a base for visiting the area. Jenny checked in with us to make sure we had everything we need, it was lovely to meet her and we would not hesitate to visit again.
