Beautiful property! Everything you need for nice self catering holiday!

Quality accommodation in rural location. Everything provided for a self catering holiday, it’s a home from home! We went the week before Christmas and there was a Christmas tree in the property which was a lovely touch! Communal play room was great! Kids loved it! A bit cold, heaters on the walls that took a little time to heat up but we took some toys back to house and was fine! Comfortable beds, lovely bathroom and ensuite, living space comfortable, log burner very effective and starter pack included! Over all, a really perfect holiday that was quite relaxing and good location!

high-quality, clean and comfortable

Excellent cottage with lots of room for 6. High-quality finish, squeky clean, very well equipped. Lots to do with the family in the vicinity. we rarely stayed in a cottage - more a house really - where the entire fmily sid "wow" when entering nd the kids said they'd miss it. The cool games room was of course a big hit.
