The cottage was as described. In December it was lovely and warm. It is perfectly located and the kitchen is very well stocked if you plan to cook. We will be back.

Warm and cosy, comfy beds; a great base for our group of 4 to hang out in between some fantastic walks. Our second visit and we hope to return again!

The garden needed weeding. Cleaning inside not good, the windows very dirty. Bathroom and kitchen not too bad but it would have been helpful to have some cleaning liquid. Plenty of space but not up to the usual standard that we have had from Sykes.
