We absolutely loved this charming cottage in such a stunning spot. The hosts were super friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even putting up birthday bunting which was a lovely touch! Everything we needed was there-salt, pepper, tin foil-and having a private paddock for dog walks was fantastic. Just a quick hang on the gate and we were sorted. Canâ€™t wait to come back-thanks for a great stay!
