Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only one report of a problem with the dishwasher and a smell in the toilet, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, with amazing walks, wildlife, and spectacular views, making it a prime spot for a peaceful retreat.
The property is noted for its comfortable furnishings, including sofas, armchairs, and beds. The spaciousness adds to the comfort level, though one mention of a cold bathroom suggests a slight discomfort for some.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and additional amenities like a coffee machine and wood burners. However, there are minor maintenance issues such as a loose tap and a bathroom shower screen that could be improved.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Weather was cold outside but cottage was very warm and toasty inside. The beds were extremely comfortable. The whole cottage was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. We do have some recommendations but have given top marks as these did not hinder or affect our stay in any way. We think there should be blinds in the kitchen, utility and downstairs bathroom for privacy. The front and back door need attention re draft proofing and bulb needs replacing in outside light. All minor and we would stay in this cottage again as we had a lovely time.

). Very peaceful setting with great walks on your doorstep and nice pubs within walking distance. The cottage is larger than the photos make out with plenty of room and a choice of wood burners to keep the place warm. The place was spotless and the owner very helpful and friendly. The only slight downside is that the bathroom is downstairs in the coldest part of the house by the back door, and the shower screen wasn't big enough to stop the floor getting soaked. But that's a small gripe and we would certainly stay here again.

It was an absolute joy and felt like a long holiday at a difficult time. Nicky, the owner was the perfect host and the cottage itself was cosy and first class. Very well equipped with all the necessary comforts, Castle House is perfectly situated for exploring the area. The walks from the house with our dog were a delight and the views are spectacular. Wouldnât hesitate to recommend it to anyone!
