Summary: Spent a lovely week at Ashlea Country Cottage, Ann, the owner was so nice and helpful, made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. This is a lovely cosy cottage set in beautiful peaceful surroundings. We even got real thick snow which was an added bonus, great to watch surrounding wildlife and had visits from sheep. The wood burner was a real hit, made the cottage feel homely and warm, great place to explore from and the fresh warm bread on arrival was an absolute bonus. We will be back thank you so much for the excellent hospitality. Would highly recommend.
