Entering the cottage, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides a charming living space for you to unwind in. Featuring exposed beams in a high vaulted ceiling, as well as a TV, DVD and plenty of seating, the cosy lounge is a perfect space to settle back, watch a movie or catch up with a good book. You can share a romantic meal for two around the central dining table, and the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking a range of dishes. Exploring further, the light and tastefully decorated bedroom features a double bed with an additional single bed, plenty of storage space and views of the countryside. The property also benefits from a stylish shower room complete with handrails. Outside, the private and enclosed patio looks over the farm fields and is a lovely spot to sit back with a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening and chat about the day.

Lovely relaxing break in a cottage which is located on a working farm. Very relaxing watching the lambs in the field behind. Cottage had everything that you require for your stay. We will definitely be back for a shortbread in the future.

Really enjoyed our holiday, the cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable holiday. The peace and quiet was nice and was not far from the beach in allonby. Only disadvantage at the time was the road direct to the beach was closed on our 3rd day and found the detour route a bit of a nuisance as got lostRead more a few times. Would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to go back again sometime. The owner Brenda is very nice and introduced herself Hide

Cottage was just as described & we were very happy with our choice for a few nights getting away from it all. On arrival everything was lovely & clean, lounge area & bedroom well furnished & comfortable, & a very well equipped kitchen. Plus the use of a dishwasher, washing machine (if needed) & lots of cleaning products so we could tidy up as we weRead morent along. Our 2 small dogs were very contented & had lots of space to pootle around inside & out. Also secure for the pups which was an added bonus Hide
