The cottage is situated on its own with stunning mountain views around it. The only sounds heard are sheep, birds and a trickling stream.

Perfect home from home, 3rd year back, lovely comfy bed and sofa, big well equipped kitchen, everything we needed. Very quiet location with lots of wildlife, good base to explore, nothing nicer than coming back after a busy day to relax in front of the fire and know you have everything you need to cook a good meal.

Cottage was very clean,well equipped and comfortable. We appreciated the very generous welcome pack which was left for us. The cottage is quite remote, but this suits us as it is very quiet. There are beautiful views all around. The lane from the village is narrow in places and care is required due to sheep occasionally being found on the road.
