The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed, and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We're happy to recommend this venue.

If you visit you will find a warm welcome, a comfortable bed to snuggle into at the end of the day and lashings of hot water. Iâm a solo traveller, but a couple would be equally at home here as there is ample seating and a nice size table to eat at.
