The property is in an amazing position and the owners are lovely, very helpful with directions, where to go and what to do, much appreciated. We were in a one bed cottage which was very comfy although the upstairs bedroom slanting ceiling is lower than we expected. It did not take away from the overall property though which was well fitted and kitted out. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
