We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Having a drive is great, shower was great. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's the small things that make such a difference. Washing up liquid, salt, pepper, sugar, even tea and coffee, cling film, bin bags, loo roll.The bar of chocolate was a lovely treat too 😊Very cosy and warm.

A very comfortable and well equipped cosy, characterful cottage, close to many places of interest linked to our industrial heritage, and an excellent base for a range of walks, locally and further afield. The village pub, across the road, is very friendly, welcoming and provides superb food! The local butcher in the next village is excellent, too!There are internal steps to some rooms, and some low doorways, but this was not a problem for us. Lovely to have an open fire available, too. We had a thoroughly enjoyable visit, and hope to return!
