Picturesque views- the ideal country get away
Positive: Most beautiful farm setting! Picturesque views! Absolutely remarkable little spot. Definitely worth it. Close to towns for a bite to eat. Easy access. Very friendly staff…
Very comfortable and the fireplace was a lifesaver…..
Negative: Rooms are not adjoined- makes it a bit tricky with smaller kids.
Other room is a bit cold and would recommend at least supplies- for coffee/teas as it’s on its own.
No mirror in main room to do hair & makeup. D

It was a very pleasant stay
Positive: It was in the most beautiful setting and we enjoyed the little cottage so much. Also enjoyed viewing all the little birds that came to the feeder etc -this was a special treat
Negative: We were a bit nervous of the road to get there but we coped fine. Would like to suggest that you maybe can add a small microwave to the kitchen
