Reviews
An excellent, well equipped cottage in a delightful position. The owners were helpful and friendly. One of the best cottages we have ever rented from you.
A very clean well presentable cottage in a beautiful setting, there was lots to see and visit in area and nothing was too much trouble for the owners, who were helpful but not intrusive.
Made very welcome by members of the family who owned the property. Lovely cosy cottage with good amenities.
The best holiday Cottage I've ever been in and I have recommended it to many friends.
The cottage is in a perfect setting and location. It is exceptionally well equipped with everything (and more) we could possibly have needed for a 'home away from home' stay in a warm and comfortable holiday home. The owners are only too happy to help with anything and made our stay a very happy one! We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to get away from their busy lives as you can completely unwind, get away from it all and enjoy the countryside experience.
Owner is an excellent host. Nothing is too much trouble.
Welcoming hosts. Lovely location.
Cosy, comfortable, well-equipped cottage which was far superior in every way to other properties we've previously rented. Beautiful location with lots of interesting places to visit locally without having to spend a lot of money. Friendly, welcoming owners who made sure we had everything we needed. We were allowed to watch lambing and there were lots of interesting birds which were attracted to the bird feeders near the patio. Weather was good too. We all had a great time.
The owners who live on the working farm were so welcoming. The real plus of this compact cottage is the access to the animals, we saw lambs being born and it's a dream for anyone wanting to see farming in action.
