*WINTER STAY*
First off, the cottage is absolutely beautiful, and a credit to ye for restoring it. It’s in such a spectacular location, and the views are breathtaking. The donkeys are so friendly, and add immensely to the cottage.
If you are looking for a luxury stay- this is not for you. The toilet is a small trek down the side of the field and there are no lights in there. It is also an eco toilet, so saw dust is used in it. There is no shower at the location, only a basin for washing.
The bedroom is gorgeous and full of books and lovely photos and art work. The bed is so comfy, and the cotton sheets are a nice touch. The heater is a nice add, however, it doesn’t add much warmth and we were very cold throughout the night. There are a number of draughts in the bedroom and there was a breeze in throughout the night. Definitely add a warm jumper to your bag, and a pair of slippers!
The kitchen has all the basics you need for your stay and we loved being able to cook for ourselves. We had such a fun night playing board games and having chats. The shop is only down the road too, which is very handy.
I would recommend this stay if you’re looking for something authentic and off the beaten track, but it’s more suitable for a Spring/Summer stay as we were very cold during the night.
