A fantastic holiday spent at this beautiful cottage. The hot tub was a bonus as was the large garden that our grandson loved playing in. The scenery was so beautiful too as was the surrounding area. Martin and Karen were wonderful hosts at their luxurious cottage and the welcome basket was delicious thank you.We would definitely recommend this wonderful cottage.
