Julie
The photos really don't do this accommodation justice. Everything was spotlessly clean, the cottage is spacious and has everything you will need and more. The owner provided a very useful welcome pack with tea, milk, sugar, biscuits and a nice bottle of wine. It was a privilege to meet her and what a lovely person she is. We had a wonderful week despite the poor weather! Thank you!

The weather was not too kind at times but the outlook and surrounding area more than made up for that. Back again in the autumn.
