A spectacular location, it is down a long and slightly rough driveway, so don't be put off and think you're in the wrong place - signs already up are very helpful. Cottage is cosy with everything you need, warm and comfortable, conservatory useful for wet clothes and lovely on a sunny day. Hot tub feels private and views are amazing, owners extremeRead morely helpful. Just a note, be aware due to height of bathroom, we could not stand under the shower, inconvenient but not a major issue, a lovely stay! Hide

Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere - perfect for a break away from normality! Closest town is a 10 minute drive which is ideal. Hot tub was lovely, and cottage was warm and cosy. Only saw the owners once but they were very helpful with anything we needed. Would stay again, although probably in the Summer rather than October.
