Excellent accommodation would recommend to anyone.

Excellent accommodation would recommend to anyone. It worked really well for our three generations. Karen and Brendan were excellent hosts and the welcome basket of local produce was greatly appreciated.

A lovely cottage in a quiet village, set within the grounds of the main, original house.

A lovely cottage in a quiet village, set within the grounds of the main, original house. It was home from home with the exception of a garden for guests to sit in. There is, however, a patio/balcony with a hot tub and some seating. In the end, it didn't matter as the weather was not kind to us! The location is good to get around to all the places you want to visit, even with some road closures due to unforseen landslides and subsequent roadworks prior to our arrival. Karen had provided a well provisioned welcome pack which was great. They were kind and available hosts. Thank you.
