“Beautiful tranquil spotlessly clean cottage. Good size (actually quite a big cottage) with a really comfy cosy bed and large comfy snuggly sofa. Good size tv easy to use. Especially great for our dog as exits to little garden from lounge and bedroom which was great late at night. Really clean with all you will need for cooking and eating and really beautiful decor. If I had to say anything that would have enhanced our stay would be a brighter light in the bathroom for shaving, and we managed to get the heating on which kicked in with force and large radiators which really heated the cottage up toasty but we couldn’t get it to kick in on the thermostat when the temperature dropped. I’m sure if we needed the host would have responded within in a few minutes to help us. We just kept putting it back on. I was worried about cleaning the cups well enough as a jay cloth was supplied but no sponge scourer that I could find. But I hope I cleaned them well enough. Loved our stay would return.”

“Myself, my husband and our six month baby spent the week here. Lovely surroundings and the place was lovely to stay in and had great views would recommend the place to people with dogs or a young baby great place! :) Just a few points to mention - there is a dining table the photos don’t show it! - the area is hard water and the kettle had a lot of limescale in unfortunately. - there is a public footpath at the back so people can walk past the living room patio doors wasn’t aware at first so you might want to shut the curtains if breastfeeding / sitting in your pjs - also a addition of a fan in the property and a lamp in the living room might be nice it got quite warm some days and it would of been lovely to sit in the living room and look at the lovely views with just a lamp on instead of no lights or bright main lights :)”
