Great cottage in excellent location. Sampled both the Royal Oak and the Coledale; both very good. Nicely indulgent having 2 en-suites. The only niggle was he cooking pans having seen better days with a shortage of lids.

This was our second visit to the cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our time there again. Last visit TV was not working properly with only one channel, glad to see that this was remedied. The village is great even for having shorter walks, and absolutely no issues with parking on the road beside the cottage.
