“We and our doggies loved our stay at Touchstone Cottage”
We absolutely love our stay! It is near shops and restaurants. The host Roger was great and so supportive. The accommodation and area is just to our liking. We loved that we are private. We went for walk with our doggies in the beautiful area. The mountain view from the cottage are so tranquil. We loved to sit at the comfortable veranda. Our doggies also liked Touchstone Cottage. It was great that is was fenced in. ( I would just have liked a good mop and bucket as I like to clean - but that is just me )

“Sublime!”
Beautiful cottage, amazing and very attentive host! Linen was gorgeous, everything provided for. There were even a few kid's toys and books. Also loved the firewood - had two beautiful fires in the fireplace. And the views over the valley were gorgeous.
