A rustic cottage in need of some TLC, in a beautiful and remote location, with a great pub just down the road. However, the water only trickles from the tap, making a shower or bath impossible. Any hot water is curtesy of the kettle. I am disappointed that Cottages.co, did not let me know the situation and help with alternative arrangements before we arrived.

Perfect for those that want to get away from it all and just kick back to basics, peaceful, beautiful and everyone is so helpful and polite. This place is how the world should be. We can't wait to go back in the very near future. An amazing find.

Tacker street cottage was quite and peaceful set in a pretty location with beautiful walks from the door. It was warm and cosy the storage heaters meant you woke up to a warm place every morning and the open fire and wood burner was so cosy at night. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was clean and crisp, plenty of hot water when using the immersion heater nice to have a relaxing bath. There was everything we needed there Mrs Thomas has thought of everything, we would highly recommend this cottage.
