We had a fantastic stay at Scarah Cottage. It's beautifully decorated, a great size and had everything we needed for a family of four. The views across the fields and down to Ripley Castle were wonderful too. The sheep next door and Mabel the chicken were a highlight for the children. One of the best places we've ever stayed. Five Stars
