What a beautiful little gem this sympathetically restored cottage is. The owner has managed to keep the period features and character whilst providing modern comforts. Cosy living room with period decoration and furnishing and well fitted bathroom and kitchen with all modern features whilst maintaining the cottage’s character. We are only sorry we could not stay longer. The porch is a lovely spot for an evening beer before retiring to the comfy bed.
Just the most wonderful experience. 6 adults and three grandchildren..something for all…welcoming reception…beautiful homemade afghans and real plunger coffee and marshmallows as a welcome on bench when we arrived. Well away from internet access was just superb! The activities available from outdoor games to inside games..can’t rate this stay highly enough.
This property was perfect for our needs...a family catchup...6 adults and 2 children.The house was warm when we arrived with the heating on which was very welcoming. A beautiful spacious home...spotlessly clean extremely well equipped with amazing views. Very handy to township...we all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to others.
