A wonderful cosy little hide away for a winter break. The fireplace kept things nice and warm and the view over the valley was great and constantly changing. The procession of birds outside the window was a delight.
This property is a truly stunning and unique experience, it’s private, secluded and the perfect getaway, it’s is a wonderfully cozy atmosphere, me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will absolutely be staying there again, plus the views are truly amazing.
Myself and my husband really enjoyed our stay 😊 it was relaxing, nice views, very clean and beautiful set up. Michelle and Peter are very friendly and helpful.
We left with some beautiful chickens and a vintage pram sold by owners.
We will definitely be staying again!
Thanks for a wonderful stay! The cottage was a perfect size with everything we needed and beautifully decorated. I loved the lamps and candles everywhere for ambience. Appreciated the provision of lactose free milk for our dietary requirements also!
What an amazing property, so tranquil and quiet. The details and little touches are fantastic. Particulary loved the outside daybed , spent a lot of hours into the night/early hours of the morning with a wine/tea talking about all sorts. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great place to bond and connect.

So pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your stay☺️ Welcome back anytime.
What more could you possibly want? Adorable cottage in the countryside, amazing views, fantastic base camp for adventures.
Pictures dont do it justice, book it and see for yourselves.
Beautiful cottage in a great location. Views over rolling hills. Very comfortable furnishings and bedding. Clean and well appointed.
A few ants in the kitchen didn't cause any problems.
The property was overlooking green farming land which was a lovely view. There were many birds to watch and I now know what a superb fairywren looks like. The cottage has everything you need and the king size bed was very comfortable. Thank you Michelle and Peter.
