We had such a lovely family getaway here. If you're after peace and quiet, this place is perfect - stunning scenery, peaceful walks across farmland and country lanes. The kids loved helping scan sheep for lambs, which was a real highlight. Plus, arriving to homemade cake, local bread, eggs, jamand cream was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!
Emma Carter
This cosy cottage tucked away in the countryside really surprised us. It's split into two parts with a handy connecting door, perfect for privacy but still close. Both sides were super well-equipped and spotless, even with dogs around. The hot tub was such a treat after a day out. Angela and Huw were lovely, making sure we had everything and even leaving us fresh bread, eggs, milk, homemade jamand an incredible cake. We're definitely coming back; loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The cottage's location is perfect, overlooking peaceful fields. When we arrived, there was a lovely basket of local goodies and a tasty cake-such a nice touch. The place was spotless and tidy. The hot tub was definitely a highlight. The only thing to note is that the neighbouring cottage had a party while we were there, but it didn't bother us at all. Would definitely recommend!

The place was spotless and had all we needed, but what really made it special was the delicious homemade cake and local goodies waiting for us when we arrived-such a lovely touch. Huge thanks to Angela and Huw for a wonderful stay. We're definitely planning to return soon. Can't wait!

We just got back from a week at this charming cottage and had a wonderful time. The view was absolutely stunningand we loved spotting wildlife around the area. Angela, the host, was fantastic-super friendly and welcoming. The homemade cake, jam, fresh bread, eggsand milk were lovely touches that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real treat, especially with the clear skies and stars at night. Overall, a fantastic stay and we truly felt welcomed. Thanks for everything!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay here. The welcome gifts, especially the homemade cake, were such a thoughtful touch. Having both cottages meant we could spread out a bit, though we would have preferred the option to book just one. The kitchen was well equipped, which was handy. The cottages are quite small and simple, but had everything we needed for a cosy break. We loved the log fire each nightand the hot tub was a real highlight, especially for star gazing. Would definitely return!
