We had a wonderful stay, very clean throughout. The property had everything that you could wish for on such a holiday. The owners very helpful. Beautiful area, even in autumn lots off things to do.Will certainly return in the near future.

This was our 7th stay at Bridge cottage and obviously it is a fabulous holiday cottage. We absolutely love staying at Bridge cottage but I think a larger TV is now needed. Holidays are not for staying in watching TV but as we normally stay out of seasons when it does go dark earlier so a larger TV would be better for a cosy night in. This is not in any way a complaint, Bridge cottage is a delight and makes a complete relaxing holiday in an idyllic area.
