The cottage was absolutely beautiful, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Grace and sandy were very kind and helpful with local information.We felt right at home from the very start. The views were lovely, especially the nearby hills and the small stream running past the cottage.Overall, great value for money and we will definitely be back.
