We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. It's a beautiful place and had everything we needed for a small family holiday. The kitchen is well equipped and was easy to use. The area outside is lovely to sit out and just enjoy the evening. There's no light pollution to speak of so we loved sitting out seeing a clear sky full of stars. Very friendly and hRead moreelpful hosts. Hide

We had a lovely time in Rose Cottage. A quiet area, no traffic. The cottage is simple but all the things you need are at hand. The sofa's were a bit old though.
