Previous visitors' comments about Betsy Cottage:
This cottage is an absolute delight! Quirky, historic, romantic and very unusual. We would have no hesitation in recommending it.
Ms Millington, Ormskirk, January 2012
Beautiful romantic one bed cottage. Ideal for quick getaway break, old fashioned copper bath in the bedroom was very reminiscent of latter day style hotel. Lovely comfortable four poster. Range in the sitting room can really blast out the heat - takes only small logs so burns quickly - stock up on chop your own wood - tools supplied by the gent next door!
Mr Pointon, London, November 2011
The hosts were extremely accommodating, especially when their guests were delayed on their journey and arrived quite late. A wonderful, well equipped, well laid out cottage - the owners have done an amazing job of restoration. There was nothing lacking and what a comfortable bed!
Mr Adamson, New Boston, September 2011
This is part of history preserved, a restored medieval cottage. An excellent job.
