‘What a home away from home! The cottage is as warm and welcoming as Anne, the owner is. The welcome pack was most appreciated after our drive with our two small children. The location is perfect for exploring the area, it’s activities, attractions and local beauty spots. It is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the world we have ever visited. We cannot wait to return. Thank you Anne, for a lovely time.’
