Lovely cottage in isolated spot but with adjoining similar holiday cottage and large barn conversion which sleeps 13/14 people. Approach is by long rough cart track so need to drive slowly and carefully. Nice fairly level walks to Anchor Church caves and NT Foremark Reservoir. We were an extended family group so booked cottage and barn which served us very well.
