We have had an amazing week at Cowslip Cottage. Although the cottage has three bedrooms we felt we had plenty of space for the two of us. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well furnished. We met our lovely hosts on several occasions who made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The cottage has excellent access to the north coast with its rich mining heritage. Thank you Robin and Marion. We loved our stay.
