A perfect get away in most beautiful setting.

A perfect get away in most beautiful setting. Well equipped and laid out cottage and garden and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.Could be improved with a higher sofa and chairs a little less saggy. Large double bed but adding a mattress topper did not improve a rather worn bed.

Overall it was a lovely place to stay in a great location. The only downside was the bath/shower. It was a high bath to climb in and out of and when switched over to the shower hose there was very poor water pressure. Margaret was very helpful.

Perfect hidden gem

Beautiful spot, ideal location, charming cottage which is gorgeously and tastefully maintained. Spotlessly clean and contained everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Amazing cottage

We had the most needed time out at this cozy, clean cottage. We were left to wander at leisure or sit in the garden near the waterfall. Margaret came to our rescue with a drop of milk when we arrived. She was very kind about my resent loss of my Mother and my need to get away from everything. We would definetly go back.
