    The property was tucked away, something that we were after. The cottage had all we needed. The bed was comfortable and the woodburner provided a cosy feel to the chilly evenings. The hosts left us a cake from a local baker, which was delicious....

    The cottage was beautiful, and Maddy, who we dealt with, couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We were sad to leave and look forward to returning in the future.
