Had a wonderful holiday in Corner Cottage. It is beautifulfilled with everything you and your four legged friends would need and lovely welcome gift. Parking right Infront, tones of space inside with a blend of fabulous clean, spacious and modern rooms with high ceilings and traditional cute cottage stoutness in the kitchen so the tall be aware to duck when needed. Very dog friendly with a wild enclosed step garden, be cautious with the little hill up through the garden as your're in nature's pocket and mud may just happen but the back lawn is worth it. Amazing views all day of the valley fields and all night with clear open skys to see the stars. Perfect location with the forest on your door step with tones to do and see it's absolute perfection if you want to get lost in the forest or visit the local towns and cities. Absolutely one of the best holidays we and our two dogs have had! Cuddle up and enjoy you won't regret it. Thank you.

We've stayed in many lovely holiday cottages. Corner Cottage stands out as one of the loveliest. The cottage was very welcoming from the minute we walked in and we could see the care to detail by the owners, to make our stay relaxing and comfortable, with everything provided. On top of this, the stunning views and forest all around were the perfect finishes for our wonderful Christmas break.
