Stayed here with a group of friends for a week. Lovely surroundings. The location was rural without being inconvenient. The house itself functions well.

Fab cottage for multigenerational holidays. We visited with our son, daughter-in-law and grandson. There was loads of space, the cottage was really well equipped and sparkling clean. We loved the remoteness of the location and especially the ducks and ducklings next door. The scenery is stunning and nowhere is too far away in a car.
