Perfect accommodation to attend a local wedding.
Clean, easy to find, good heating, everything we needed and a tranquil little spot to spend the night. Our little one loved the country garden flowers and the cows mooing in the distance. The bed was a bit hard and we didn’t see any smoke alarms. Otherwise very happy!!

Such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay
This cottage is a beautiful place to stay and relax. The owner left us fresh milk, bread and eggs for breakfast. I can't fault anything about the property or communication with the owner. Thank you for everything.
