The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, though there are some comments about TV reception issues and a lack of instructions for appliances. The presence of a wood burner and the mention of homemade flapjacks suggest good facilities, but there is room for improvement in maintenance and providing clearer guidance.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in gestures like leaving homemade flapjacks and ensuring a warm welcome. While such personal touches are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Itâs a lovely, clean, warm and comfortable little cottage with everything you need for a perfect holiday. An ideal base to explore the area both by car and on foot. So many amazing walks right on the doorstep - no need to use the car except for supplies! Sitting in front of the fire and watching the array of birds on the feeders is a joy in itself. Highly recommend

Cottage is so homely and comfortable in amazing surroundings with so many walks from the doorstep. Sue is a lovely host,very helpful and welcoming. Brigoturk is a fantastic location to get to so many walks and towns. We were here for a fortnight but will have to come back next year as so much more to do.

It has all the facilities you could reasonably expect. Lots of walks and cycling to be had locally and the birds on the bird feeders were a real treat, but you need to budget for £10-£15/week to keep them topped up - the woodpeckers and nuthatches really get through some food. When the wind drops the midges come out and don't think long trousers will protect you - if you're sitting still you can still get bites up to your knees!
