The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and we can only say ideal for us. This is a cottage which we will have no hesitation in booking again.

This cottage is a delight: comfortable, light, well appointed (quiet and private / handy location), spotlessly clean and impeccably cared for. The owners really looked after us, with little extras e.g. milk, fruit, chocolate / sweets and flowers. Rattle Row is recommended without reservation and in the highest possible terms. A home from home!
