Shepherds cottage is set in a beautiful, location. It is peaceful & tranquil, but not far from a town to get some groceries when needed. We appreciated the welcome pack, the brownies especially were tasty & moist. The furniture & the bed were comfortable & it is very tastefully decorated. There is plenty of space, it is secure for pets & it was lovRead moreely to see wildlife while relaxing in the garden over breakfast or in the evening. Tania is a lovely pleasant lady who is very helpful & easy to chat to, We were reluctant to leave & will definitely be returning. Hide
