From Deirdre fottrell-gould

This charming cottage was an ideal getaway. Theresa and her family were very welcoming without being intrusive. The cottage is separate from the main house, with its own parking and outdoor space offering magnificent views. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. Two generously sized bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Excellent hiking and cycling opportunities with very little traffic. A perfect break away from the everyday hustle.
