The cottage was set in beautiful grounds that were kept immaculate throughout. The view from the patio area of the surrounding mountains and countryside couldnt fail to lift your mood whether it be first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It was so peaceful with just the sound of birds singing away. The cottage was well proportioned withRead more plenty of comfort and space. There was ample parking for several cars. The owner was lovely and pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. I would most definitely recommend these cottages to everyone and will be back again with all the grandkids. There is so much to see and do their that 1 week isnt enough. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Hide

There was plenty to do in the area and we would definitely consider coming to Holly Bank again. Hide
