Wbat a lovely place to stay. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was great and we used it every evening. We will definitely recommend to others and look at staying again ourselves if we visit this area again.

We had a fantastic stay. The cottage itself is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped. It has such a warm and cosy feel while still offering plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably.The location is peaceful and scenic — perfect for switching off and enjoying the countryside. Everything has clearly been thoughtfully prepared for guests, from the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen and inviting living areas. It really felt like a home away from home.The hot tub was a lovely addition and great for relaxing in the evenings. Our only slight criticism was that it wasn’t particularly practical for four guests, as it was quite a tight squeeze. That said, it didn’t take away from our overall enjoyment of the stay.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bullion Farm Cottage to others looking for a relaxing getaway. We’d happily return!

Lovely cosy cottage. Had everything you need to stay. Bath robes were a lovely touch as well as the beautiful chocolate cake and Prosecco and biscuits they had left for us. Hot tub was clean as was the cottage. Would definitely recommend. Thank you x
