Lovely comfortable cottage with lots of space for families. Great facilities in the kitchen and a washing machine and clothes airer was a great bonus. The cottage was very clean and really good quality bedding and towels. The beds are very soft so if you prefer a firmer mattress just be prepared! Mali is an absolute delight as a host and nothing isRead more too much trouble, she was very knowledgeable about the area and made us feel very welcome. Hide
