  • Elizabeth

    The garden very relaxing the remoteness was wonderful but everything you need is quite local via a short car ride. Mark is great chap, very accommodating he allowed the use of my lightweight drone, with a very positive attitude, and helpful as local guide. We were left alone but informed he was just a text or call away with any help if needed. I very much recommend Mordon Moor Cottage.

  • Christine

    A warm welcome from the owner and tasty cookies and tea a great touch.

  • Stewart

    The cottage was perfect for all our needs and had everything we could have required to make the stay perfect. My 2 year old daughter loved to play in the garden and with the location it was very safe for her to do so. We cant wait to visit again next time!
