Beautiful location and lovely cottage! Perfect for those looking for a quiet get away. You do have to drive to go anywhere which we didn't mind at all because the upside to that is quietness of the place, and the fact you really feel its just the two of you surrounded by nature.

Absolutely breathtaking panoramic views, the sun rises to the right of the cottage patio above the hills and sets to the left behind the field. Could not get energy enough. The cottage was well stocked with anything you could need and has the facilities for you to cook meals, which was really convenient. Everything is pretty much a drive away but tRead morehe grounds around were stunning, I do wish there was a guide on where you can go walking tho, as we had the dog so were apprehensive. Hide
