â¦it is a proper quirky, characteristic place, great for 2 people and 2 little dogs, the stairs, yes!, the stairs are traditional stone steps, so you have to take extra care, not an issue for us, but may be for the less able, low beams and door ways, you WILL hit your head if you are 6ft!, ( Iâm Tiny, I loved the charm of the beams, partner hit his head a few times!), we got lots of use from the log burner as we attended in March, cottage warms up nice and toasty, beds comfy, huge big lounge with comfy sofa, everything was clean and welcoming, a well stocked kitchen, owners called by on the Saturday to say hi, a welcome pack of a lovely cake, milk and treats for the dogs, ( thank you) the area is great for exploring, sadly the pub 1 minute from the cottage has closed down, but thereâs others in the village, local spar 2 mins walk, ( great shop) a couple of take aways, chippy etc, so excellent base, the only slight negative I can say is the internet needs up grading as it couldnât cope with a laptop and phone logged to it, the walls are so thick 4g couldnât get through them so had to go out side to use phone with dataâ¦.100% recommend beehive cottage for a break away, wouldâve loved to see the history/ story of the building and the renovation that was done, if the owner has these, please pop the story in the welcome packâ¦special mention to Goat Gap Cafe, best dog friendly cafe weâve been in!â¦

Exactly what we needed with beautiful stone floors and a fabulous wood burner. Totally dog friendly and lovely and toasty on a snowy weekend. We will be back, thank you so much Hazel.
