    “In one word stunning.”

    We have stayed in 4 cottages in recent years and hands down this was by far the best. The only advice to the owners would be to advertise the views in your listing as when we arrived we were blown back by the views from the chapel.Also would like to say the garden was perfect if taking dogs as it was all fenced off and even my 2 very naughty cockerpoos couldnt escape.The local town for all your shopping is only 15 minutes away and the local pub a 3 minutes drive.
