Beautiful Cottage

If you like solitude this is a great choice. Very clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are tight due to ceiling height so be prepared to watch your head. As an older couple we did struggle with the TV as we couldn’t get live TV, No instructions anywhere. We are app savvy but found it very frustrating , I think someone had messed about with it maybe should be checked after guests depart. Would I stay there again Yes

Escape to the wild

We thoroughly enjoyed the remoteness of this property and how beautiful the setting was. The living room and kitchen were perfect. We expected the bedroom to be small but we both struggled with the limited head height getting in & out bed. Sadly the hot tub was out of use for our stay which was a key factor when booking the property and so we were disappointed to not have used this as the days were sunny and the view was great. There are some small improvements that would take this property to the next level, pillows weren’t great, too thick and hard affecting your neck and the bathroom needs really modernising. That said, this is a stunning location if you like remote peaceful places.
