Reviews

Well equipped cottage in a really lovely location. The price was very reasonable which I assume is down to the age of the internal decoration and furniture.

Mrs T,

Lovely village and nice location

Mrs B,

While the cottage was lovely and well equipped, and the location great, we did find the armchairs and sofa very uncomfortable, especially after a long day of walking.

Mrs H,

Good location.

Mr G,
