This is a superb eco cottage, comfortable and snug as the weather became cooler during our stay. It was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing few days in the country. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful.

Everything thing was as depicted on your write up of the property. The owner was very helpful as we had a couple of problems and he sorted them out. We feel that the cottage was dusty but not dirty. Overall it was very satisfactory
