Lovely holiday home. Well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Wonderfully secure garden for a dog who can be an escapologist with a lovely view to enjoy from inside or out on the patio.

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. One thing that was very important to us was the fully secure garden. It meant that we could let our dog outside to run around and not have to worry - he has been known to escape.

So many positives, quiet rural location with a beautiful view. Cool in the living room and patio during the heatwave. The kitchen was very well equipped and the owners left bread, milk, butter, biscuits and wine for arrival, which is very thoughtful, so you don't need to go out shopping immediately! They were very welcoming and it was good to know Read morethey were on hand if needed (but everything is in good working order - so no worries). The location is great for walkers and nature lovers.
