Great location, warm and welcoming. The cottage was clean, and we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine and nibbles. The cottage has all you need - just pick up your food and drinks from the local SPAR or Co-op. Broadband speed is good and very important as there is no phone signal for voice or data.

We had an amazing stay at hen gapel! Very cozy cottage and in an excellent location for feeling like you're in nature but not too far from nearby towns and shops. The owners kindly left us treats and wood for the fire which was really appreciated, it felt like pretty much everything you could need had been considered. The shower was great and the bRead moreeds were very comfortable. We also recommend topping up the bird feeders if you can, we saw a collection of garden birds, woodpeckers, and even a hawfinch during our stay. Hide

We absolutely loved staying in this cottage! Lovely and clean, well equipped and lots of little extras such as hand soap, washing up liquid, kitchen roll etc. It is in a beautiful and peaceful place and the log fire was perfect in the evenings after a long day exploring! Would definitely stay here again!
