Absolutely perfect for a family holiday. The little playground on the farm was ideal for our child, and the cottage itself was warm, well-insulated, and very comfortable. We really appreciated the free use of the washing machine and tumble dryer too. The owner was lovely and took great care of us. Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and remote.

Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und es gab einen herzlichen Empfang.Das Cottage war gemütlich, mit genügend Feuerholz für den Kamin. Auch war es weihnachtlich geschmückt.Die Austtatung ist hervorragend, lediglich die Betten fanden wir etwas unbequem.Sollten wir wieder in dieser Gegend Urlaub machen, würden wir sehr gerne wieder hierher kommen!
