  • "I hired this beautiful cottage for my 30th Birthday getaway with close friends."

    The location is gorgeous with plenty of accessible hiking routes and wonderful views. The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable and warm with all the expected amenities. There is even a traditional pub just across the road which my friends and I paid a short visit to and had a good game of darts! My only recommendations would be that the cottage did not have any oven gloves (or at least not any we could find) so it would be helpful if these were made available.

  • "Excellent facilities for our walking group."

    Perhaps a lock on the utility room door as there is a toilet there please. Work tops in the kitchen were very sticky....Perhaps it the wood? Everything regarding to pans dishes etc was fabulous!

  • "We loved the property."

    It was as described but we were pleasantly surprised by its beauty when we arrived. It was super clean and we had everything we needed. A well stocked kitchen, towels, games and so much space. The garden was fantastic for the children but with 2 dogs we thought we would recommend a gate at the side of property and some secure fencing at the back of the property (our little dachshund excitedly kept going into next doors garden through the fencing gaps). But we loved it and wished we had booked for longer.

  • "We found the cottage to be very nice and in a lovely position with lovely views all around it, the garden was nice too."

    Facilities inside were ok, apart from the kitchen worktops, which were very sticky, you couldn't put any packets or cardboard or small packets of food onto worktops as everything stuck to it and then when you picked them up again it left the paper stuck on the worktop, which was annoying and therefore we didn't put any food down on the worktop. The induction hob was very difficult to get working, took quite a while to get one ring on.

The farmhouse kitchen/diner is a great spot for entertaining, with ample facilities, a long dining table and the convenience of a utility, you’ll have everything you need to rustle up a delicious meal and catch up on laundry after a day of walking.
