We were a party of eight and all of us absolutely LOVED our weekend at Bellegrove cottage. The location is just perfect, for a group like us, who enjoy walking and exploring. The cottage was extremely clean, beds were all very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. There were two little people in our party, aged three and four, and they loved it too. We would DEFINITELY book again!
