Reviews

The cottage was a gem, the owners couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and there were plenty of lovely walks. The views from the cottage are absolutely stunning. Although our week was wet and dreary, it didn't detract from the beauty of the location and we spent the damp evenings playing games in front of the log burner. Definitely recommend it for a relaxing break away from the frenetic pace of life.

Mrs K,

This is a very peaceful holiday cottage. It is very clean and comfortable. A log stove is a bonus if you want to light it at any time. The garden is fenced all the way round so secure for dogs. The owners dogs are very quiet and gentle. I have two tiny chihuahuas and they were great with my dogs. A sunny patio for drinks and relaxing. We had an lovely stay here.

Mrs H,

A charming property, in wonderful condition, soon got to know its inner layout. The owner was also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended, thank you, may well return.

Mr Gavin G,

This was a lovely cottage , great for walks, dogs and beautiful scenery. It was very clean with comfy beds. Ideal for scenery and walking. Loved the wood stove in the evenings. Ideal if you want a quiet cosy holiday get away. The farmer was friendly and we loved his dogs. A beautiful place to stay and we'd consider booking there again.

Mr Shaun H,
