Rohan Cottage is lovely: clean and cosy with lots of thoughtful extras such as fresh bread on arrival, plush bedding and a fully equipped kitchen. Excellent location in the dale with plenty of walking straight from the house. Highly recommended!

Rohan Cottage is a really special place. The location is stunning and there is so much to explore; history, walks, wildlife, cosy cafes and friendly pubs. The house itself feels like a home from home as soon as you walk in. The open fire is a wonderful treat and the eggs, bread and butter as a welcome from the owners were very much appreciated. You have everything you need including a well stocked kitchen, lots of fluffy towels in the bedrooms and the bed was extremely comfortable. We needed a place to rest and heal this week and it was utterly perfect.We will most definitely be back
