You couldn't find a more idyllic setting than Bridge Park house . The scenery is fantastic and it is so peaceful. The house is lovely and has an open fire and logs ready to burn making it very cosy. Lovely big kitchen and the whole house has a very welcoming feel to it. Second time staying and would definitely stay again .

Loved the cottage and location. Very peaceful. A wood burning stove would have been an improvement over the old fireplace. Otherwise great.

More outdoor seating, clearer boiler instructions, and consideration given to internal cleanliness and decor.
