Turf cottage is absolutely gorgeous; set in a remote area on the edge of working farm land and near some other small detached cottages. We wanted to be remote and away from everything so the distance from the town was great for us, but guests should note that it’s about an hours walk to the town/pubs and whilst the walk is lovely, you might be less keen on it after a few drinks, especially at night on the dark roads and taxis are hard to come by. We mostly enjoyed a drink in the evening by the fire whilst preparing dinner.
The views from inside the cottage are a delight, especially form the bedroom where there’s a huge glass window in front of the bed, looking out over nothing but hills, greenery and some tiny distant cottages. Light sleepers that don’t like to be woken up by sunlight should take a sleeping mask with them, but we very much enjoyed waking up to the soft morning light.
The cottage is bright, clean and modern. The heating and the fire keep it delightfully warm in the winter months (we went in early January).
The hosts were great and keen to make sure we had all we needed and were happy with our stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and hope to visit again in the future.
