Lovely holiday cottage with amazing access to the hills from the front door. We particularly loved the walk around the lake over the road- perfect for our little boy to practice riding his bike. Kitchen has everything we needed for self catering; the air fryer was particularly helpful! Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic location for hiking. We spent most of our week out hiking. The house is perfect for a base. There were 3 of us and it was quite crowded when we were all there. I would say it would be perfect for a couple getting away. The garden was absolutely amazing. And the fact you could walk the mountains straight from the back gate was the best bit about the whole week.
