What a delightful findThe place suited our needs perfectly being centrally located pretty much to the places we wanted to visitIt was warm, had everything we needed and was off the beaten track enough to be very quiet, even during the middle of storm AmyThe owners have a great property here and we intend to come back again next year, just hope it isn’t booked when we know the dates we want

We had a wonderful stay at the outside room. It was just perfect for the two of us and even as non-drivers we were able to get about using the train and bus connections from Ladybank (which involved a lovely walk through the woods each day!). The cottage itself is beautifully finished and very comfortable with everything you need for a few nights away!

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location. Everything was spotless and we had everything we needed - and more! We loved being able to walk through the beautiful woods to the village - and seeing the red squirrels. Plenty to do in the surrounding area, but always nice to come 'home' to the Outside Room.
