Very well equipped cottage in a beautiful village. Perfect kitchen with everything we needed. Plus in the room next door you could find everything else: washing-machine, microwave, baking tools - just great! Very comfortable bedrooms and beds with a nice view on the hills. Good spacious bathroom with a modern shower (no bath - but we didn't need onRead moree). Very nice of the owner to give us milk, wine and toast and that very good local cheese! Hide

Stylish and comfortable cottage in beautiful, quiet village with lots of excellent walking from door, pub (good pub food), butcher and village shop, waterfall, swallows, martins and swifts.
