Staying in Tom's cottage was an absolute dream. I took my boyfriend there for a surprise trip for his birthday, and we stayed two nights. Tom's communication before and during our stay was excellent, and we got to meet his parents as well - they are a truly lovely family! Best of all, we got to meet his border collie, Saffie, who was our tourguide, playmate and liaison with the sheep. She's a pet, not a working dog, so we were able to pat and play with her.
The cottage itself is beautiful, comfortable and very atmospheric. It has been really thoughtfully maintained and updated to keep the style and feel of a 1940's house, but with a modern bathroom and very pleasantly functional appliances. For those who are wondering (I was!), the fireplace is in a separate living room with extremely comfy couches, as well as the tv and board games.

The only thing that was a tiny problem was that Google maps tells you it's in a different place than it actually is. The road has a 90 degree turn in it - and it's right on that corner (don't drive into someone else's driveway, like we did!) There is a little bit of unsealed road but it's totally fine for even our tiny car.
We had a totally wonderful stay, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Tom!
