A beautiful little annexe style cottage that is well stocked with utensils that you will need due to all shops being miles away some via single track twisty lanes😬 would definitely go back but more prepared with food stocks.

Lovely people Anne & John ... very friendly & helpful ! The cottage is excellent and the lake is full of fish, a lot of small stuff but also some nice ones !! The village pub is a good walk away and the country lanes are very dark, so a car is needed which restricts the alcohol intake !! But well worth the visit !!
