Loverly cottage. Great place to holiday. Plenty of walks out the door. When there are no/few clouds, moon and stars at night are unbelievable. It's that good we have been going since October 2017 twice a year.YOU WILL ENJOY.

The house was ok but a little dated. It was very well equipped but the major issue was the house temperature. I know the heating is via ASHP and this was constantly running throughout the day give a general temperature of 18-19c but when it’s -5c outside it’s really noticeable how cold the house was internally. The log burner was a god send but if the lounge door was left open for more than 30 seconds all the heat was lost. When you’re away on a winter holiday and walking a lot you really need a warm environment to return to. The kitchen was too cold to sit in and we didn’t want to light the fire in the dining room so we had to eat our meals on our laps, which isn’t ideal

Well kept and comfortable. Plenty of places to visit and walking.Good food at Newfield Inn. Make a visit to Broughton for shops, walks and a brilliant bakery.
