Lovely 3 night stay at Ryburn house. Two adult couples, so the two bathrooms are a bonus. The garden would be nice in the summer, didn't get to use it though, as stayed in December! Ideal location, there are double yellow lines outside of the cottage, so no parking. We did stop and offload our bags, then managed to find on road parking further down the road. There are restrictions certain times of the year, but I think it was October to March you are okay to park. Best to check the signage on the lampposts are regulations do change. Hope to return next year, had two lovely meals in The Buck, best to book in advance as it is popular.

A really lovely place! Beautiful surroundings, and felt right at home. Super cosy living room for the evenings! Was slightly worried about parking but was super easy and close with a lovely quick walk to and from the suggested car park!

Would suggest new bedding. Apart from that, it's a home from home.
