Lovely cottage. Nice location, but very exposed and close to the road. Had issues with the fridge not staying on, which was a continuous worry during the week.

Absolutely beautiful, modern cottage. Fantastic location with so many places to walk our very energetic Labrador. We loved the hot tub, once we got the hang of keeping the fire going. And the log burner made the lounge extra cosy. Spacious bedrooms. We would definitely book again.
