Tacker street cottage was quite and peaceful set in a pretty location with beautiful walks from the door. It was warm and cosy the storage heaters meant you woke up to a warm place every morning and the open fire and wood burner was so cosy at night. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was clean and crisp, plenty of hot water when using the immersion heater nice to have a relaxing bath. There was everything we needed there Mrs Thomas has thought of everything, we would highly recommend this cottage.

The cottage is lovely overall and in a beautiful setting. The beds are comfortable and have plenty of nice bedding. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of plates / cutlery / pans etc. We used the open fire in the evening and the storage heaters give background heat. The owner of the cottage was helpful in meeting us and showing us around the cottage. However, we would have liked to know that there was temporarily no water supply to the cottage at the outset, rather than one week before our visit, when there was no opportunity to make alternative arrangements. Drinking water and plastic containers of water were provided but they were not nearly enough to last a weekend with 3 occupants.
