Thank you so much.

Wonderful location and stunning views. This is a very special cottage; genuinely very old, but beautifully modernized. There is much more room inside than it appears; two sitting rooms, an additional downstairs room with a sofa bed, which my daughter-in-law used for working, and a huge dining room with views over the adjoining fields and woods. The kitchen is small, but perfectly serviceable, and the two bathrooms are great. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the quality bed linens and towels. Just be sure to note the warning about uneven floors, low ceilings and twisty narrow stairs. This is not the place for someone with mobility issues! Our 7-year old grandson loved his bedroom under the eaves and also the huge garden and football net. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed meeting the owners next door. We had a couple of small housekeeping issues at the start, but the people at Huluki were quick to remedy them, so no complaints there. Thank you all!

Great stay at a lovely house. Perfect sport for a weekend with a group of friends in the countryside. Would definitely recommend.
