    Great character cottage in its own grounds, the cottage was cosy and had everything I required. Loved the fact that they had provided logs, kindling and lighters as i stayed in a cold spell and it was great to be able to have the fire going.

    Loved the character, location and facilities. It’s in a great location and has all the amenities you require. Love the fact that logs and kindling were provided and enjoyed the fire over a cold and breezy weekend.
