A lovely little spot
Stayed for a week. Location was ideal with astunning view from the living room and walks on your doorstep. The pub in the village is really close and offers lovely food and great service. Cannot fault the cottage at all and the owner Anne incredibly helpful and clearly cares and looks after this property very well.
