Absolute stunning cottage in a stunning location. As soon as we started the drive up through the forest we felt as if we were in a peaceful, remote location which is what we wanted. Although near enough to amenities when needed.We were not disappointed as we opened the last gate and saw the cottage in an opening with fantastic views. The cottage itself had plenty to do in comfort and we had plenty of use out of the hot tub, fire pit and log burners.Truly a relaxing peaceful experience for the six of us.Would definitely recommend and hopefully return.

This cottage is amazing, well equipped and decorated. The location is perfect. The only negatives are that the master bedroom has a damp problem in the corner behind the chair and our clothes and the room felt damp each morning; the master bedroom and landing had old cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. (It took me longer to walk downstairs, get the extendable duster and walk back up than it did to sweep the ceiling clean)
