Previous visitors' comments about Pastoral Cottage:
The wonderful birdsong from morning till night. The beautiful countryside. The friendliness of the local people. Some people may not like the isolation, single track road with passing places, but we enjoyed the village life.
Mr Western, Huddersfield, May 2010
Pleasant peaceful surroundings. Personal welcome from owner with plenty of information on areas to visit at the cottage. Able to come and go without restrictions, sit in the garden and watch the wildlife. Visitor attractions were only a short distance away.
