Mrs Matthewman
Lovely cottage in peaceful, private location. Very well equipped with comprehensive instructions for appliances and safety, it was warm and cosy with comfortable beds and quality linen and towels. Lovely deck for outdoor dining, weather permitting. Kitchen equipment and crockery are extensive. including Air fryer, slow cooker and bread maker. Stairs are short but steep with steps up and down to bedrooms so not suitable for physically challenged and some low ceilings/doorways. Thecottage is at the bottom of a steep driveway.

Mrs Walker
Lovely stay. Location was central to all our activities planned. 45-1 hr drive. Very helpful hosts if and when needed. Didn’t take our dog in the end. Def the right decision for him as very hilly, steep drive and lots of steps within the cottage. Lovely area by the river. Great place to relax for the week.
