Confirmed Guest
Had a fabulous time at Clarksville, very comfortable cottage, spacious, the stairs made it quirky, this cottage got booked at extremely short notice due to a cancellation elsewhere. The cottage was turned around quickly to accommodate us, bottle of wine to welcome us which was a lovely touch, thank you. We had great walks from the cottage and didn’t need to drive anywhere, good pubs, excellent bakery, they loved our Labrador and welcomed her with a sausage !No problem with parking, great location. friendly people, hope to return for another break. Thank you.

Great location for what we had planned. Clean and tidy. The stairs may be a bit steep and windy for some but we managed OK.
