The location is fab as it's only 20mins from the coast. There is a beautiful restaurant in the village only 10 minutes walk (expensive fine dining so only went once) and the local shop next door to that is well equipped. I did a half day blacksmith introduction run by the owners which was great fun. The hot tub was great as was the log burner. The cottage was cosy and private just what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stay....

What a find! The perfect retreat in a wonderful location. Waking up to birdsong each morning was a joy. Lots of places to visit locally as well as great walks. The hot tub was a welcome treat at the end of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the blacksmith course which can be accessed on-site. ...
