"Beautiful view and just peace and quiet. No other tourists on your doorstep like at resorts."
"We really enjoyed our stay, especially the attention to details was inventory and also a lit log fire to welcome us upon arrival, after good communication about keys etc, initiated by "The Croft"!"
"Pleasant reception at arrival made us feel at home even before we entered the cottage. Inside are two lovely rooms and a homely atmosphere with fireplace and everything you need. The view over the mountains is fantastic. Well done Janet!"
