The living room of Nettlebush Cottage is wonderfully light, and has a lovely wood burner to sit in front of whilst spending a cosy night in.

Fishing, cycling and mountain biking are all local pursuits with the facilities at Glentress, 20 minutes’ drive.

Lovely cottage with stunning scenery. Off the beaten track but not too far away from anything. Well located for sightseeing and walking. Clean and very comfortable.
