Beautiful chilly weekend in the mountains. It was as tranquil and promised. The cottage was so adorable and had us daydreaming about cottage life. Was also a big boon that it's pet friendly.

Quiet country retreat
The cottage is located in beautiful grounds and is very quiet. A track at the end of the street enables you to walk down to the village and enjoy the shops and cafes. The cottage is quite spacious although you need to be aware of some steps in between rooms as it’s easy to trip over them. Although it’s got a kitchen most people wouldn’t bother bringing supplies it would be useful to have some spreads eg peanut butter or jam if your making toast for breakfast.

Beautiful relaxing cottage
This was such a lovely little cottage and it has everything and so much more.
The spa and open fireplace was just what we needed.
Beautiful stained glass windows, lush gardens, and a delicious breakfast hamper too.
I wish we could live there!
