We loved staying at this cottage. The views were absolutely stunning, with horses in the field opposite adding tho the charm, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and attentive and the welcome pack was a very nice touch. We would love to return.
