Simply stunning. This was our 5th stay. The property is so beautiful, with lovely views from the house and hot tub. The owners are really nice people - right next door should you need them but they give you absolute privacy. There's a couple of great pub restaurants a 5-minute drive away. Highly recommended.

A wonderful relaxing week in a beautifully renovated spacious and well equipped cottage. The setting was so quiet and peaceful , but within easy reach of places to visit, and a lovely pub and restaurant just 5 mins drive away. The hot tub was amazing - we would definitely recommend staying here.
