This cottage is very comfortable, with lots of equipment for self catering. It is in a rural location, but also centrally located to explore the surrounding area. The views from the property are outstanding. Lorraine and Nigel were very welcoming and are very happy for you to explore the land around their property. The highlight of our stay were th e deer which we were lucky enough to see most days, also feeding their alpaca.

Cottage was great and owners we brilliant so friendly and helpful! Location was a little rural for us but we enjoyed it regardless!
