“The cottage is beautifully designed and Dan has done a fantastic job of not only saving an old building but making it really quite special.”
His passion for it's restoration may have been long, and perhaps difficult, but it is something of a work of art. From the beautifully neat exterior you enter a nicely presented reception area with a beautifully designed spiral staircase, all very cleverly fitted to make the most of the space and leading to the upstairs living area. The kitchen is contemporary with lovely, quality, wooden worktops, presumably all locally made. We love cooking and it was fantastic to find every possible utensil (except one!) available and we thoroughly enjoyed working there as much as we enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room. And talking of relaxing, the bath, and bathroom, are wonderful too - warm and welcoming and plenty of towels and even flannels. The bed is amazingly comfortable, only a double but allowing plenty of space around it so you don't feel hemmed in.
The garden is lovely and compact with a couple of seating areas perfect for catching the sun and keeping out of the breeze, whilst giving a bit of privacy. I was especially impressed with the clever design and spacing of the hedging - who's idea was that?! It works so well in what is quite a compact space. And then there's the communal garden with its lovely views across the fields and paddocks towards the hills of which, incidentally, you get an equally great view from the living area of the cottage.
Finally (phew, I hear you sigh) the welcome both from Dan himself, and from the nice array of goodies provided, was just just perfect, all very thoughtfully done and beautifully presented.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome in your lovely little cottage.

Wow. What an absolutely amazing review. I’m blown away by that. Thank you so much. I’m not sure I could even come close to expressing in words how rewarding it feels to have such a great response. But make no mistake about it. I’m honoured that you have liked it here so much and it gives me such satisfaction to know that the work we put in is appreciated. See…I’m struggling to find a way to express my deep gratitude! Try simple Daniel! THAT WAS THE BEST REVIEW ANYONE HAS EVER GIVEN ME.
You guys are most welcome anytime and I really hope to see you again. All the best from Dan and the furry trio. D
