The cottage was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped to ensure a perfect stay. Outside, we enjoyed the hot tub overlooking breathtaking viewsâideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. There was plenty of space for the kids to play, along with a fun play frame. In the evenings, we relaxed at the gazebo with a fire, creating wonderful memories. The field at the back was a hit with the kids and our dog, who loved watching the horses run about. I highly recommend this place â we had a fantastic time!
