Great cottage, everything you could need and welcome basket an added bonus. Bed linen spotless but a bit tired and duvet far too warm for time of year. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Lovely cottage but be aware that the stairs are steep. Very well equipped though we didn’t see a hairdryer. A supply of coffee, tea. cooking oil, etc. A generous hamper containing basic items including bacon, eggs, milk, butter and much more. Small courtyard to the rear and there is a good sized green to the front. Hob Moor a short car drive or 20 minute walk for those inclined.Several places to eat just across the way and a good chippy along a passage to Front Street. A good selection of shops a mere 5 minute walk.
