We had an amazing stay and were really impressed with the accommodation. The kitchen was so well equipped — to the point that we were genuinely shocked by how much it had.

The property was immaculate and a perfect place to relax after 2 weeks on the road. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you needed and the welcome pack from the hosts was very much appreciated.

Would highly recommend a stay here and hope to be back soon.
