Cosy cottage with stunning views and a lovely front garden with a trickling water feature and a bench to sit in the sun (!) and look at the views across the valley. Very quiet with beautiful walking from the cottage and tucked in a peaceful valley. Hot tub a huge hit too!

Cheryl

We very much enjoyed our stay at Amanda's pretty cottage. The view from the living area windows, and the small garden, is stunning. The garden is beautifully landscaped and is a perfect place to enjoy an evening glass of wine. The furnishings in the (good-sized) bedrooms are particularly nice and include plenty of storage and wardrobe space. BathroRead moreoms are well-fitted and the kitchen well-equipped. The dryer on the washer-dryer had a fault but this was a minor issue in the overall scheme. Hide
