The cottage is very clean and comfortable. The views are fantastic overlooking the surrounding valleys and it has good access to many local attractions.

The most beautiful cottage with amazing views.Very well equipped, clean and tidy with a lovely enclosed garden, perfect for our dog.It is at the end of a single track lane, about a 3rd of a mile, which is why I've marked it down for local amenities. However there is plenty around within a short car journey! We will definitely re-visit.

Mandy and Ron were wonderful hosts, on hand if you needed them but otherwise fully respected your privacy. We were pleasantly surprised how accommodating they were for our infant and dog. They left toys for our little one and a basket full of useful things for the dog. The stair gate was also very practical. Cleanliness of the property was excellent, everything and more that you could ever need!! Beds were very comfortable like a giant marshmallow. Property is decorated and furnished to a high standard. We felt very at home and comfortable. We loved the cows as neighbours in the behind field and sheep up the lane. Beautiful views from both the front and the rear. Cottage is secluded and a very quiet location. Dogs needed to be kept on a lead in the garden due to livestock but this wasn’t a problem for us. Garden is steeper than images suggest. Loved our stay and hope to return one day. Thank you for making us ALL feel so welcome.
