Everything thought of by hostsâ¦matches to light fires, wood to heat jacuzzi, lovely bottle of Prosecco and chocolates on arrival. Cupboards stocked with everything you need. Area is so incredibly peaceful and the owners and family in the area very friendly. View is to die for, cottage is gorgeous and deceptively large

One of the best places we have stayed. It was extremely clean and had everything you need for your stay. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided, a lovely welcome gift, fresh flowers and all the logs needed for the hot tub and fire. Derek and Nina were extremely helpful and recommended places to go. Derek would help us to get the fire started on the hot tub or get it going for our return if we were out for the day. The standard of furnishings is very high with a lot of homely touches and a lot of the furniture and fixings made by the owner. The views from the hot tub are stunning while watching the lambs playing in the field. Lots of interesting places to visit in the area. Would definitely like to return here.

Was far more spacious and luxurious than we thought it was going to be. So lovely to be able to watch the lambs in the fields. Would definitely recommend and would love to return, thank you!
