Honest and authentic cottage bursting with charm. We had an excellent visit to the cottage for New Year. Owner had prepped both fires in advance of our late arrival on a cold night. Excellent communication and friendly approach by the owner. We are familiar with the area and embrace the step back in time where things are more of a slow pace. stunning views and friendly locals. Bedding and rooms were befitting of the charm of the cottage, the small living room only added to the charm and cosiness. The kitchen and sitting area offered a large communal area for our group to engage over meal times by the wood burning stove. The kitchen again honest has all that you need and perfectly suits the authentic charm of owl cottage. Highly recommended for a no fuss break away from the rat race. ##### Craig Wilson ### 8/10 Good #### David L. 17 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Far from the madding crowd Ground floor bedroom cannot be aired, beautiful en suite bathroom, also cannot be aired, a shame because the views are stunning and the kitchen/dinner wonderful. We found the access road difficult. ##### David L.
