We found that the cottage was very comfortable, had all the necessary equipment for a great time in the cottage. An excellent shower over the bath, the appliances were top quality. Megan and Elwyn made great effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable.

We had a lovely week in this luxurious cottage, with its stunning views. It is set in a valley, remote from other cottages and one doesn’t have to drive far to get to the middle of nowhere. The owners have taken every care to ensure a comfortable stay and we wanted for nothing. Definitely a place you’d want to come back to.
