We had a lovely stay at this cosy and homely cottage. It offered the perfect escape and immediately felt welcoming. The property is well equipped, ensuring we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. A highlight was the host, who was friendly and knowledgeable, providing great insights into the local area. We especially appreciated the thoughtful additions like the fresh eggs and milk - such a lovely, generous touch, thank you.
