PERFECT !
Pros:

FANTASTIC ! We were a group of 5 couples and so couldn't have been more happy with our accommodation at The Bower Cottage consisting of 5 bedrooms (3 with ensuite and a bathroom).
The staff were very helpful and professional and the location was excellent.
The Bower Cottage is so well set up - all the rooms have robes, slippers, hairdryer, shampoo etc and the kitchen is a great central gathering area.
We chose to eat in and made use of their BBQ and oven - there were already basic condiments in the cupboard (oil, salt & pepper, vinegar etc) and the supermarket is only 5 mins drive away.
The swimming pool was amazing - we were fortunate enough to have the area to ourselves and enjoyed the lounging around.

Wonderfully relaxing and peaceful
Pros:

Beautiful rooms, feels so relaxing the moment you arrive. I recommend the grazing platter on arrival and treating yourself to a massage.
