We were very impressed overall and the let was top-notch in terms of location, cleanliness and comfort and the owners were super-friendly! The only thing we felt let it down was that the shared hot-tub had to be pre-booked and was only available between 10am & 5pm, meaning it was unavailable if others had booked it OR you wanted to use it after a dRead moreay's adventure or in the evening. Unfortunately we didn't use it as we were out most days. Sorry, but the only negative on a brilliant stay otherwise. Hide

Very clean and spacious cottage situated in a very tranquil location. When it says Self catering, it basically means that. Utensils are available but remember to bring all your cooking and bathing requirements. There are no complimentary essentials available.

The cottage was super clean, tidy, comfy bed and sofas ! Hot tub was nice but limited access - 9-4.45pm . Staff we met on departure were super friendly although we hadnt seen anyone until then. Nice surrounding areas plenty to do - look up where to go before you go and get supplies in !!
