Finest Retreats | The Dairyhouse

The Dairyhouse is an immaculately presented three-bedroomed holiday cottage sleeping up to six adults and two children. The rural setting and homely touches make it ideal for family and friends' get-togethers. The large windows and doors allow plenty of light to flood in to the property and guests can enjoy the stunning countryside views from all rooms of the cottage.
