My stay at Mount Cottage was amazing. I caught up on so much sleep and enjoyed truly relaxing days surrounded by beautiful views. You can even spot animals from the cottage, and the friendly pups next door were a lovely bonus. The log burner kept the place perfectly warm and cosy. As someone coming from the city, the peace and quiet were absolute blis. I couldnt have asked for a better escape. If you need a taxi while youre there, Ian from Bentham Taxis is perfectvery reliable and friendly. Highly recommend!

Easy to check in and lovely view of local farm. Would be great to have a larger bin in the kitchen, greater water presure and larger bed.
