Beautiful cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Instructions to find it were excellent. All the surrounding farm roads were excellent. I was concerned before arrival that it might be a bit remote but travelling to and from the cottage was simple and easy to navigate. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
