"We've been here 3 times now and it really does feel like a home from home. Quirky but comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings near to so many lovely places to visit. Michael the owner couldn't be more helpful. Thoroughly recommend!"

"Stayed here for a week with our dog and some friends. The house is great, really quirky design, very well equipped and extremely cosy with super efficient central heating and a small log burner. There is a good garden for the dog to have a run around in, and the owner and next door neighbour were both very friendly. The location is great for dog walking and visiting the many local tourist visitor attractions. There are also many good places to eat in the local area. We definitely intend to stay here again!"
