Fully equipped and comfortable. A bit remote but we expected that. We had hoped there would be a nearby pub for food. With the tricky narrow roads in the dark and in the mist we had to have a rethink.

Cottage was very well equipped and comfortably furnished. Beautiful countryside. The property is a couple of miles from Bere Alston village and station, so a car is more or less essential.

Lovely, cosy cottage, fully equipped kitchen. Really hot water! It's a remote location but its beautiful surrounding makes up for that.
