We had a lovely stay over 2 nights at Saddleback Cottage. It is ideally located for the walks and activities we wanted to do. The cottage was very comfortable and provided the perfect base for us. We arrived quite late on the Friday evening and the owners were great, making sure we could access the property with no issues when we did arrive.
