We had a wonderful few days with Barbara in her lovely cottage. The location is stunning, the view really is very beautiful. It's quiet, peaceful and charming. Barbara couldn't have done more to make us welcome and meet any needs. She is a warm and generous host. Her property is as described - rustic (she describes as an apartment, I describe it as a cottage), with panoramic views. She very honestly describes the spiral stairs which some may find a challenge, however the upstairs is also accessible via a separate door around the back of the cottage and we didn't have any problems with the stairs. The cottage itself is cosy, nicely furnished and clean. It is a rustic, stone building which we really liked - very authentic - but perhaps not for the traveller looking for a sleek and characterless hotel room. We were a large group - adults and children, and we all loved the place. Barbara was engaging and friendly with all of us. She was lovely with the children, giving them the run of her beautiful garden and letting them explore the stables, play with her friendly dogs, meet her beautiful peacock and hens. It was simple and magical and the children - who ranged in age from 11 to older teens, enjoyed our visit immensely, didn't once mention wifi over the 3 days, and didn't once suggest turning on the TV!... instead opting for a well-stocked games cupboard. There was also a wide and eclectic range of books to dip into and lots of information on attractions in the county and region. Would HIGHLY recommend this special little piece of heaven.
