Confirmed Guest
Lovely comfortable cottage. Very clean. Amazing views. Parking for one car. Bit of walk to cottage with luggage but doable. Had everything we needed except for a freezer which we would prefer if staying a week or more. Short walk downhill to village for food shops, bars and restaurants. Travellers Rest close by for food and drinks. Lots of places to visit in area. Great area if you enjoy walking/hiking/wild swimming.Recommend and we would definitely stay there again
