Beautiful, cosy cottage, central to some really lovely days out- the moors for some lovely walks, lots of castles within driveable distance. The cottage was very comfortable, very clean and we really enjoyed our stay and have already discussed going back and staying there again to explore some of the places we didn’t have time to explore this time.

An excellent place to see the surrounding countryside and for the money hard to beat.

An excellent place to see the surrounding countryside and for the money hard to beat. we felt welcomed and well looked after, excellent beds and shower facilities with a well equipped kitchen. Parking was also easy and convenient, if however you spend much time in the cottage the seating is not that comfortable and the outlook is basically the carparking area. Also little instructions about what is open to you to use outside the cottage (garden etc.). But good value for money and a friendly welcome.

Had a fabulous time and the owner could not do enough for us.

Had a fabulous time and the owner could not do enough for us. Would love to go again lots of things around to do ncluding flamingo land which is expensive but so worth it. Cottage perfect for small family and so cosy. Loved every minute. Only thing was that as laminate flooring through cottage it was very slippery for my one year old and he slipped and banged his head badly first night but that's more down to his balance really. But worth keeping in mind for little ones.
