The location was lovely, quite remote and private, surrounded by beautiful country side. Nearest village was a 5min drive away. The cottage was perfect for our family and our dog, the bedrooms and living space were both very comfortable. It could feel a little cold and damp at times, but Chris had a dehumidifier in the cottage and also there was a wood burning stove so when we lit this it was very warm and cosy. Chris was very friendly and helpful, even when we arrived quite late on the first night! Overall a great stay!

We had an amazing time the location is nice and central to lots of attractions. The house is lovely spotlessly clean. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen is well equipped (Knives could do with sharpening and the can opener is useless lol) but that's just me being picky. Host was lovely and very helpful....
