We enjoyed a 4 night break with family to celebrate a 90th birthday and had a wonderful time. The cottage is spacious and has great amenities. The location is great for rural walks and has gorgeous scenery. We had an issue with a shower head which was resolved quickly. The hot tub in the garden is huge and undercover.
