3rd comment: We have been to this property 6 times over the past few years. It is an ideal location for walking, sight seeing etc., with things to do for all ages. The property is very well looked after and the two bedrooms are very spacious. We try not to recommend to too many people, otherwise the dates we want will be booked up!! Oct 2011.
4th comment: The property was lovely and the location was great. Would go back for another holiday. Many things to do locally. July 2011.
5th comment: The accommodation was described as an apartment and so we were expecting something like a ground floor flat. Imagine our delight when we arrived and found the whole ground floor of a fantastic house was to be ours for a week. Very large rooms with high ceilings and loads of original features in place, comfortably furnished especially the fantastic bed in the master bedroom. Lovely views. A great holiday. March 2011.
6th comment: This is a great property, we felt at home as soon as we opened the door. Good sized rooms, attractive furnishings and well looked after. The position is great too, 10 walk downhill - 15 minutes back! For dog walkers you are straight out of the door, up an unmade road to beautiful walks, wonderful. Oct 2010.

10th comment: The cleanliness, well-equipped and tastefully furnished spacious rooms. July 2010.
11th Comment The property was set in a really quiet area, we had lovely views from the bay window in the main lounge. It was very spacious. There was everything we needed on site, even toilet paper which we forgot to take. Fresh flowers were in the lounge, we thought that was a lovely touch. The owners are obviously very proud of their property and keep it nice and clean and neatly furnished. To call it a cottage is an understatement, we felt like we were living in a mansion for a week. We would highly recommend it. July 2010.
