About the owner
My husband and I and golden retriever moved to this lovely hamlet in 2008.

We are next door to the cottage and on hand for any help or advice you may need about this lovely area. We hope you will enjoy the surroundings as much as we do, having spent many years travelling and living in many parts of the world and living on a boat in the Med., my home county and the friendly people drew us back to dry land. We welcome visitors and if you have a dog (or cat) that is well behaved it would also be welcome. It is great countryside for walking or driving to see the many interesting places, or just chill out and "recharge batteries".

We look forward to welcoming you to our hamlet and wish you an enjoyable stay.

Guest comments
"Really enjoyed our New Year stay in the lovely, warm cottage. The Children want to move in permanently! Thank you for your hospitality and welcome. Loved our stay and liked all the little extra "touches" you provided. Lovely walks and train trips. Will come again." Charlie & Angela, Bute.

"The minute I drove up to this gorgeous cottage off the beaten track it was exactly what I had hoped it would be & more! I couldn't have asked for better hosts in the owners Lynne & John. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I will never forget my welcome gift of delicious home made smoked trout pate & oatcakes. The pristine cottage with character features,the location, the views,the peace & quite, & dare I say the snow, made for a very memorable Christmas for myself, visiting friends & my family. Everything was just perfect. My little cat loved it as well! Definitely will be going back & have found good friends for life in my hosts. Just wonderful!" Adele Wolstenholme. January.
