Summary: This place is a small slice of heaven! The cottage was immaculate, with everything you could possibly need for a break away from the hustle and bustle. Jennifer was extremely helpful and understanding ( as we got there a bit later than planned). The cottage is warm, homely and secluded with amazing views and walks. The pictures don’t do it justice. We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can return!!

Summary: This stay is perfect if you are looking for a getaway out in the country. It is about 20 minutes from town so you should bring some groceries. This place also doesn’t have WiFi, so be aware of that. There is some cell service if absolutely needed. The heat is also done via a fireplace which is warmth for the soul, however be aware of this as well because it takes some work to keep the fire going. Overall our stay was lovely. It is on a working cattle farm (sheep and horses).The host was very proactive, friendly, and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Summary: A very pleasant three night break in October, to enjoy dark skies and spectacular sunrises. This location was so peaceful and quiet. The reason I gave 4 stars for communication is that VRBO made communication with the owner difficult by necessitating the need to read a QR code to get their app to be able to communicate with the owner. Not possible without a smart phone! and the App Store and Google Play links weren't live on their website either,making it doubly difficult. Can't fault the cottage though, lovely.

Summary: One of the most beautiful places I have stayed at, serene and beautiful. We had 2 nights there on our way back from Scotland, a perfect half way point. Jennifer showed us the calves she was caring for and let the kids hold the bottle of milk the calf hungrily drank. A big shout out to Bellamy the beautiful white horse that enjoyed our company from the other side of the fence. The cottage was cosy and beds comfy. Lots of toys and activities for the kids and lovely places to chill out in the enclosed garden.

Summary: A lovely cottage far enough away from the world to be peaceful but still close to amenities. Practicalities like the great hosts, the comfortable beds and the well stocked kitchen aside the pictures don’t do the setting justice.
