Wayne the owner on hand and very helpful, thank you very the lovely welcome package. Nice pub opposite, close to local amenities and attractions with walks from the door!

A fab cottage located close to the Manifold Track which is a must cycle/walk. Thors cave on that route is brilliant, although involves a lot of steps. The bedroom with the single beds has sky lights. The owner has provided black out velcro covers to put on but they are not always reliably covering the light. The cottage is very clean and the kitchen has so many good appliances to use. You can log into the TV on your subscribed apps (just remember to log out). We would definitely come back!
