Mrs Squire
Lovely place in an amazing setting with beautiful views, although, the path leading to the property is part of a public footpath so be prepared for strangers passing by, more often in the summer. The house is surrounded by a low stone wall fence and a gate so is secure for small to medium size dogs. As the car park is a bit of a walk from the house, there is a trolley for your luggage which was very useful. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds, everything is high quality. Log burner adds to the calm and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The Railway Cottage is a beautiful cottage situated in a stunning location. The cottage contained everything, and more, that we could have wanted or needed for our stay. We had a great week!
