What a lovely place. Very old and quirky but well maintained and extremely well equipped and clean. Fantastic for dogs and my two collies loved it. My only negative comment is that the down stair shower was either hot or off, the temperature control did not work. This is not a complaint, it is just to let the owners know. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back when next in the area.

Waingap is a beautiful cottage in such a stunning location. Very well equipped and very homely. There are lovely walks directly from the property . We stayed 27 December -3 January and felt truly isolated in a good way! Would love to visit during the Summer months when it must be even more beautiful.
