Claire
The host was very welcoming, he had the woodburning fire lit and ready for us on arrival... and there was a welcome bottle of wine that was much appreciated! The cottage was beautifully decorated and styled and the beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable. The hottub was a highlight and was really clean and also ready for us arriving. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider coming back. Thanks

The cottage has everything you need to ensure you have a nice chilled, comfortable break away. And they even privide tea, coffee, milk and sugar, which was a very welcomed surprise after a long drive. Close to the town and only 35 mins drive to the lakes, it's location is fab and the views around the cottage are so tranquil. We will definitely be returning again.
