Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. Everything you would need in the kitchen, but take your own consumables as theres only salt and pepper and a small amount of tea and coffee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a really relaxing time. It is a beautiful cottage in a stunningly peaceful location and we loved seeing the sheep and their lambs wandering past.

This cottage is delightfully situated close to a range of paths, including the St Cuthbert's Way. We enjoyed birdsong wherever we walked, saw many raptors, wild goats, hares and a wide range of invertebrates. Nature thrives here!
