Mrs Parr
We absolutely loved Kelly Mill Cottage, the whole setting from the approach down the lane was breath-taking and going inside the cottage was even nicer. The property has such lovely decor and really cosy homely feel. We had the fire roaring and all felt so relaxed, it was exactly what we were after. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. The owners were super friendly and helpful, and their children were very polite and helpful too. We didnt want to leave and will certainly be returning in the future.
