We enjoyed our stay at High White Stones cottage. It was a comfortable home away from home. It was a quick walk to shops, restaurants and local grocery stores and to parking. The parking permit provided was also valid at other parking lots in other close by towns.

Good location 2 mins from the town. Hilly to get to from town for a few mins. great shower, kitchen, sofas. Bed mattres a bit hard for us - personal taste. Terrace seating at the back useful. Parking permit very useful.

A lovely place to stay for the week. Had everything we needed and was in a perfect location for ticking off some Wainwrights. Would stay again!
