The cottage is warm, cosy, and beautifully decorated, with a welcoming feel throughout. It was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, with all the essentials provided for a comfortable stay.Communication with Lesley, the owner, was excellent from start to finish. She was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy — from booking to check-in. It was clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience.A peaceful and relaxing spot — highly recommended. ##### G H.
