Very small, but clean, tidy and well-planned cottage, with good-sized wardrobe in the bedroom. Bed seemed new and was comfortable, and everything worked. However, the only outside space, and the view from all but one small window, was a weedy, uneven, rather scruffy farmyard between the front of the cottage and the farmhouse immediately opposite (sRead moreo not private, either - you wouldn't really want to sit out there using the small patio set provided). Building work is also currently in progress. Hide

Perfect getaway for the two of us, peaceful surroundings in a beautiful area of the country. It made a perfect base for getting out and about.

The only view of the beautiful surrounding countryside was from the kitchen window, which was disappointing but we enjoyed watching the lambs. The outside sitting area was indeed the car park and slightly scruffy with no views. I would sum up by saying we did enjoy our stay and appreciated the welcome pack. If you were a couple who mainly ate out aRead morend just wanted a base, I think the cottage was ideal. Hide

Gorgeous location, middle of nowhere, we loved it. The cottage was clean, comfy, and felt very homely. The website does say the pub is within walking distance, technically true but it was a 30 minute walk, not great in the dark at night but there is a torch in the cottage. Local farm shops a 10 minute drive away, Brigham rocks not far either a realRead morely great day out. The host was kind and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Hide

Very comfortable cottage, warm and cosy. Lots of storage which is often lacking in holiday cottages. Very peaceful, I would stay here again. The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long drive.

Absolutely loved the cottage and the area was great. Lovely local pub and walks. Drove a few miles into such stunning countryside then came back to our cottage. We had an added bonus of sheep and the baby lambs outside our kitchen window.
