We had a fantastic time in Grantown staying here. Lovely house with good facilities, secure garden for the dog and lots of little touches like games that made it feel like home. We would definitely stay again.

This is the second time we have stayed here. It is a lovely cottage in a great location. The living room and the bedrooms have been done-up to a fairly high standard. The kitchen is a little dated but fully functional. In the first visit the kitchen was quite grubby but on this visit it was much better. Everything in the kitchen felt cleaner. We will be staying again in the future!
