This was a lovely place for a holiday. It was clean and everything needed was available in the cottage. The garden, view and surrounding area is beautiful and it was a peaceful location. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. We will certainly return!

Rod and Hydie gives true meaning to the word hospitality. They have created an imaginative, bright and perfectly decorated guesthouse, and by their tireless personal involvement maintain it in perfect condition. The location is as great as they advertise but the feel of the place is much more cosy and comfortable than they claim. On top of this their friendliness and concern about the well-being of each guest is something that no-one could expect. They have furnished and provided accessories in the kitchen that you would only expect in the most modern house. Their warmth still fills our hearts long after we left and we wish to visit them again if we could get the opportunity.
