We had lovely stay at Bracken. Julie and Nigel were very welcoming and friendly, the cottage was very clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed. The area is great with lots to see in the many small villages close by. The local pub, just a very short walk from the cottage serves really good food and is well worth a visit. We would love to return in the future. Jean & Steve
