A brilliant place to stay. A very warm welcome from Sara with a lovely welcome pack. The cottage was a delight. Warm, cosy and clean. The kitchen was the best I have used. First rate, very high quality pans, hob and oven. The views from the cottage were stunning, and despite the rain it was really impressive watching the weather move towards us from the distance. A lovely spot for sight seeing or just chilling and watching the weather and wild life. It is without doubt the best cottage we have stayed at.

The cottage is situated in a truly serene, tranquil, and picturesque setting. The view from the bedroom is quite unique, and you have direct access from the cottage to the forest, which offers unlimited trails. The hosts were wonderful and provided excellent hospitality. I would highly recommend this place.
