The cottage was in a peaceful, idyllic setting. We had sheep and lambs grazing nearby, and the bird song was wonderful. We used the Merlin App to identify all the birds that were singing and logged at least a dozen including a Woodpecker. There was plenty of hot water for showering. Lots of attractions nearby. We would book the cottage again.
