Lovely location which was very peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of life. The owner of the property was very friendly and more than happy to help with an issue that arose and quickly sorted out. The property was spotless and had everything that I could have needed to make my stay perfect from a comfortable bed to comfy furniture to all the equipment you could want in a kitchen. My only preference would be to have blinds at the kitchen door and bathroom windows. Only the garden and fields behind so no one would see in but just how I am

The check-in via the key safe was efficient and the cottage was well-equipped for our family and our dog. Lines of communication were open with the owner should we have required assistance (which we didnât) but this was not intrusive, just reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.
