The cottage was in a beautiful location and had everything we needed for our relaxing break. Once we had the shopping in, there was no need to use the car. Lovely walks from the doorstep, The Little Mill Inn was a great place for food and drink and the cottage was so comfortable it was a pleasure to just stay in and relax. Would love to go again and explore the area more, in different seasons. Would definitely recommend.

Clean and tidy cottage but too many steps for elderly people

The accommodation was everything as stated. It was remote for anyone with walking difficulties and the last 100 yards to the property tested the car’s suspension. On the whole a nice quiet cottage enabling you to visit local attractions not too far away. The nearest pub was walkable and served good pub food but last orders 7pm!!
