Reviewers unanimously mention the spotless condition of the cottage, highlighting its exceptional cleanliness which contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is frequently praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local pubs and walking paths, though one comment about limited dining options slightly impacts the score.
Comfort is highly rated with mentions of a cosy atmosphere and comfortable furnishings. A single mention of a low sofa suggests a minor issue for some guests, but overall satisfaction remains high.
Facilities are well-regarded, with guests appreciating the well-equipped kitchen and maintenance of the property. A few comments on specific items like the shower and heating controls suggest room for improvement.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the numerous mentions of welcome packs and gifts. While these are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Spotlessly clean & very well equipped. Decorated for Christmas & a lovely welcome basket. We were here during storm Darragh & felt cosy, safe & warm. Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area. Short walk to the village shop that had everything you could need & staffed by very friendly people. Would love to return

The Dell is immaculately clean, very well equipped, cosy & comfortable. The welcome basket of goodies is a lovely touch. We stayed in December & the Christmas decorations in the cottage added to the festive feel. Just a short stroll to The Miners Standard pub which is very friendly & a great place to enjoy a drink & relax. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

The Dell was beautiful, immaculate and very well planned cottage which had everything. A lot of effort clearly shows. The owners were friendly and helpful, We felt they truly want you to have a great stay. The welcome pack was the best we have seen. Fresh flowers and treats This on top of walking in to a fabulous house. Just perfect. Well done all. The area was beautiful. We had many a meal and breakfast in the pub. The Miners Standard. The locals were lovely and the food a delight. We would highly recommend a stay. The grounds of the cottage were a delight. Autumn leaves,squirrels,birds and sheep as neighbours. It was just beautiful and tranquil . Thank you host's. We have already passed on to friends. Would love to return some day.
