Beautifully presented little home, clean & tidy with some really thoughtful extras. Quite a private little space which was quite relaxing most of the time. The only criticism I have, which is unfortunate as its a perfect little place otherwise, is the 2/4 sleepless nights due to constant dogs (many) barking non stop for hours & then the rooster setting off quite early (4am on one day). I know the owners can't control external noise but sadly it does affect the overall experience.

The cottage was very roomy, with modern amenities, beautifully decorated.Many little extras in supplies and pampering products made us feel very special.The hosts were friendly and very approachable - nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.
