This is an excellent property and we have been here three times along with some of our family. There is plenty room inside for everyone and an enclosed safe garden for the kids to play and for the dog. The surrounding area is very beautiful and the village ideal for supplies and meals also.

The cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. There was lots of information about local attractions and walks in the area, and the local shops, pubs and information centre were very helpful too. We had a wonderful holiday, and would certainly recommend it to friends.
