Review:

The cottage had a very welcoming feel, with two handy parking spaces. There is a beautiful view from the cottage down the hill, as well as a convenient dog walk very close. Inside, there is a well-stocked kitchen, and a nice seating area with sofas, log burner and Freeview box for the TV. The large bedrooms are comfy with enough cupboard space. A very nice large bathroom. There is efficient heating.

 
Specifically Recommend: Spotlessly clean, nice bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival, and a very warm welcome from the proprietors. Very cosy and child and dog-friendly. To sum it up in one word Superb.
Be Aware: Take some good hiking shoes and wellies to enjoy all the walks. Also, remember the weather can be quite windy and chilly in the Spring!
