Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. Could have sat at the arched window all day. Carl & Tricia lovely hosts were very helpful indeed. The little balcony area is perfect, with the stream running by, not that we got sitting in it due to the weather, well it is January after all! Thanks to you both, would love to return.

This is beautiful accomodation in a beautiful location, very peaceful, and very comfortable. We only encountered minor issues, with a heating breakdown that the owners resolved before we even knew there was a problem, and a bath drain that baffled us both, which was not a big deal, as there is an excellent shower! The owners were very welcoming, and helpful, and being on-site, available if we'd needed them. All in all, a lovely location, and lovely people. We came home very refreshed from our week at Mill Pond View.
