"The Homestead" is recently renovated, modern, and well equipped, including kitchen appliances, tools and good cookware (a set of measuring spoons was all we found missing.. )
The cottage is both comfortable and well located. The pub couldn't be closer, but noise wasn't in any way a problem, nor was pub traffic parking obstructive at any time. The views were pleasant and we were able to watch border collies being trained on the pasture uphill behind the cottage. By coincidence we were present on the one weekend of the year when the Brass Band Competition was held. Although traffic on the road was increased and parking was a bit more in demand, we had no problems whatsoever.
Our group of 4 enjoyed our week and would return.
