A Restful Retreat

We were welcomed on arrival and were made to feel at ease straight away and were looked after throughout the whole stay We enjoyed a relaxing and stress free two weeks surrounded by wonderful views, some friendly wildlife (red squirrels, deer and hares) all by a lovely pool. We would recommend this property for families of all ages as the cottage is spacious and well equipped. The local markets are always a delight.
