We had a very relaxing week staying at a fantastic cottage for two, everything was top notch, log burner was great especially after a days walking, the shower was like a deluge of hot water, just fantastic, you would be hard pushed to find better accommodation The Alpacas were interesting, not a sound from them ???Highly recommended ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
