Lovely house in a beautiful setting. Everything you would need. Plan your days well as it is a little remote, but that's what's makes is special. Take plenty provisions with you as the shops are some distance away. . The caretaker man was very helpful and friendly.

Due to a car breakdown we were only able to take advantage of this cottage for 4 days as opposed to the original booking of seven. That said we enjoyed the stay very much. Just had a bit of an issue with the getting the radiators warm in a couple of the bedrooms.
