We really enjoyed the stay there as it felt very homely, warm and hopefully we like to come back to visit sometime. There is everything you need in the kitchen to be able to cook properly if necessary. The views are amazing around the cottage and with lots of plenty walks around the local area, you Will need a car for some places. There is no Internet at the cottage but that was okay as we wanted to get away for a lovely quiet week away and do lots of walking! There is a bath which you can relax after a busy day out and plenty of hot water available. The owner Sue is a lovely lady and she will help with any issues you may have. Thank you for a welcome stay at the cottage Sue.

It was very spacious and spotlessly clean(not always the case when we rent a cottage). The short walk to Litton gave us such spectacular views. We would love to come back!

The log fire was lovely to return to after a day out hiking in February. We found the property clean, well maintained and well equipped with plenty of space. The lack of Wi-Fi and Phone reception provided a very welcome break from our busy lives and was one of our reasons for choosing this cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you.
