We are committed to presenting the cottage to the highest possible standard and to providing a friendly personal welcome. Information about our location is clearly provided in all our publicity and is readily available; our advertising emphasises the suitability of the cottage as a base for touring and exploring this beautiful part of the world. Part of this suitability is due to our location, which allows easy access to the wonderful landscapes, vibrant cities and multitude of places of interest which make this such a special place to stay.
