We had a fabulous stay in the cottage and really couldnt have asked for more. The welcome was incredible and we really appreciated the homemade cakes, wine and chocolates. We have everything we could posibly need in the cottage, the kitchen was incredibly well equipped, and the log burner was a very welcome addition to our stay. Cant recommend this cosy cottage enough, perfectly situated away from all the hustle and bustle of life, but close enough to some incredible local activities and attractions to make any holiday here a memorable one. Thanks again for being such wonderful hosts, we will be back!
