Wow! One of the nicest cottages we have been too. also one of the cleanest.It was a bit chilly at times, but there was a Northerly wind.Comfortable beds and sofas.Kitchen was well equipped, not that I did any cooking!My dog loved the garden, which was well enclosed for all but the very smallest of dogs ( mines a Border Terrier and I think she may have been able to squeeze through in a few places).There was road noise but it wasn't too bad.Wood burner is very easy to operate, we have the same one at home. Plenty of logs supplied.Lots of bird life.Thanks for letting us stay. We will be back.

Beautiful scenery surrounding Melancroft, "break its neck" falls just down the road. We went in February, it rained most of the time but that just added to the splender of the falls and to the awesome Elan reservoir. Lovely comfortable accommodation so wet days didn't matter.
