Kestrel is a well-equipped and comfortable cottage, with en-suite shower rooms/lavatories attached to each bedroom. The kitchen and living room are spacious. The location is delightful, and the hosts (Mr and Mrs Lloyd) were friendly and helpful.

What can i say about our stay at kestral cottage other that it was perfect. We enjoyed every minute, the cottage was spotless and very spacious, we were a party of 8 adults and 3 dogs, we had more than enough space at the cottage, the kitchen had everything you would need, more than enough plates, cups and cutlery, I took a few things incase there Read morewasn't things like a tin opener, but there was everything even a potato peeler. The dining room was brilliantly everything was to a high standard. Hide
