What a lovely property in a beautiful area - we had a great stay here. Christine and Ray are lovely, welcoming hosts and the cottage was finished to a high standard and spotlessly clean.

This has to be one of the best cottages weve ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean and very spacious, everything you could possibly need was provided.
