Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotless' and 'very clean', indicating meticulous upkeep.
The location is celebrated for its beauty and convenience for exploring the national park, though some guests noted challenges with mobile signal and finding the property.
Comfort is consistently highlighted, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, although a few mentioned the single mattresses could be improved.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and heating system. However, some guests experienced issues with the shower, TV signal, and a lack of Wi-Fi.
While guests found the hosts hospitable and helpful, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness', so a score cannot be provided.

The cottage was lovely. Plenty of space for everyone. Heaters worked to keep the cottage nice and warm. The setting is so peaceful, down a farm road, but very handy location for exciting the area. Just bring a paper map or atlas to start you off as there's no signal or WiFi (which I loved! My two pre-teens played board games and joined in conversations!)

Nice views from both front and back..you can hear and watch curlews and skylarks from the windows. The pictures donât do it justice, it has a dining area with large table. We would definitely recommend it.
