We were made to feel very welcome and the cottage is well furnished, warm and comfortable. A great place to recover after a day's exploring.

The bed was especially comfy and the shower was nice and powerful. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. Location was a bonus for us as when sat in the lounge you could hear the stream when leaving the stable door open and it was a dark sky area. Nice we could let the dog out in the yard as it was fenced off. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely quiet spot and easy to find following the owners instructions. Lovely log burner which logs and smokeless fuel were provided in with the price. Very friendly and helpful owners would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.
