Luxuriously appointed property in a great location, lovely welcome package waiting for us. We will thoroughly recommend this to all of our friends. This is not a criticism at all but we had to hunt down the instruction manuals to find out how to work some of the electrical equipment and we always like to clean up before we leave and could not find a small dustpan and brush. Otherwise, it was a fabulous accommodation.

Very clean and well maintained with thoughtful touches such as a welcome tray of goodies and adequate cleaning materials.Nespresso coffee maker,Sky Tv with TNT sports and a Jacuzzi bath all great features along with a peaceful garden.Well equipped kitchen.The parking is opposite the cottage and you have to bump your car over a low kerb to get onto it and this needs levelling to avoid scraping the underside of cars.

It had everything we needed. Wonderful location and having two parking spaces was very helpful. Very comfortable, quiet and private. The gentle sound of Newlands Beck just at the end of the garden was a lovely backdrop. Plenty of walks from the door and many others a short drive away.
