Lovely walks along the rivers in beautiful woodlands or up into the hills, all close by. The house is imaginatively furnished and is thoughtfully set out to suit families or couples. The information in the house folder could do with ârefreshingâ but we found our way around everything and had a great week.

Cottage is isolated but still in easy reach of local attractions. There were a few things that we thought would improve the property, New pillows would definitely be an improvement. A few more operating instructions for appliances/heating would not go amiss.

Well equipped kitchen and really nice spaces to relax. Excellent bedrooms and comfy beds/bedding. As mentioned phone signal can be poor across networks and WiFi slow for streaming/downloading - but this is a minor point and mentioned in booking info.
