We had an excellent week in this cosy welcoming holiday cottage, a warm welcome from all of the family pets included. Had a lovely and useful welcoming pack, with flowers on the table very clean and comfortable a very nice touch were the cosy dressing gowns, places to sit and admire the view. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants peace and quiet in this lovely cottage.
We marked the local amenities 9 as we did not need or use them.
