This is a most lovely, comfortable welcoming place to stay. Lots of hot water very clean and everything you could wish for for a perfect relaxing holiday. There was a welcome bottle of wine and several other gifts that were really thoughtful and most kind of the owner. This is our second stay at Cooper's so that says it all really!!

The cottage was ideal to unwind and relax. No nosey neighbours, only the gentle mooing of bullock's and clrgrazing in the adjoining fields. Cottage was extremely comfy and clean.
