We had a lovely stay at the cottages, we were wowed by the amount of space we had given the price tag, it was one of the cheaper options on the site and we were prepared to allow that to reflect in the accommodation but it more than delivered! The host was lovely and allowed us to feel like the place was our own for the week, we even received a call and mesage when there was a power cut in the area, to give us a warning and let us know what to do (thankfully we never lost power). The space is very cosy and feels like a home! 4 of us stayed in the space for the week and it didn't feel cramped and we all had what we needed. Would definitely recommend and if we're ever in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to rebook!
