What guests are saying
Great location - within easy reach of mountain ranges and points of interest.
House is full of character, just on the verge of being tired and worn in places, e.g old mattresses, mismatched and chipped glasses/crockery, Christmas decor still up in June, some lights not working etc. Could benefit from some updating, whilst still being in keeping with the character of the place.
Excellent cottage.
Well furnished and very clean. Location is fantastic. Amazing view! Local pub is 88 paces away (yes, I did count them
A lovely cosy cottage that is dog friendly.
We enjoyed our stay here very much and planning to return again this year. Location was perfect too. The nearby grapes hotel & bar serve great food to eat in or take away. Would definitely recommend this cottage it was perfect.
