The cottage is superb, first class, well equipped clean and comfortable. The location is wonderful with views to die for but the directions given were misleading and it was not easily found I used my OS map once we were in the area. Diane was readily available by text to answer any queries we had. We will certainly visit again.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was fabulous. The house was spotless with everything you could need in the kitchen. The place was really bright and airy with 2 lounges indoors and really nice enclosed garden and seating area outside. We have reactive dog and it was perfect as so peaceful and no noise. It was completely in the countryside with hares running across the garden yet only 10 minute drive into Lancaster. Would highly recommend and we will be back next year .

Beautiful cottage. Very clean and modern with lots of space. Big garden area, perfect for watching the hares hop by and the cows munching grass. Very peaceful and quiet. Would recommend to anyone and would love to stay again.
