We have had a lovely holiday at Alpaca Cottage, it was absolutely perfect for us. Everything necessary for a self catering holiday was there and it was very comfortable with thought given to everything. No shop of any sort within the village but great places to eat within a short drive. Great information folder with lots of ideas for things to do. Paul was informative about the area too. Real plus for us a baby alpaca was born which surprised everyone. Highly recommended. ##### Thomas O'Gorman From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Hartland 9 Apr 2025 #### Cannot fault anything. Cannot fault anything.
