A lovely little spot

Stayed for a week. Location was ideal with astunning view from the living room and walks on your doorstep. The pub in the village is really close and offers lovely food and great service. Cannot fault the cottage at all and the owner Anne incredibly helpful and clearly cares and looks after this property very well.

Anne's directions had us at Puddingstone Cottage in no time once we reached the village.

Anne's directions had us at Puddingstone Cottage in no time once we reached the village. The cottage was clean, warm and well equipped with numerous books, games and DVD's on all manners of subjects as well as a kitchen with every piece of equipment you would need. The beds were comfortable which is always important with good quality linen. The cottage is situated in a small peaceful village with outstanding views towards the mountains. There is a fabulous community pub with great food just half a minutes walk away which we visited several times. While there is no village shop the nearest is a pretty drive of just three miles. We took supplies with us to save trips to supermarkets. Puddingstone Cottage is situated well with easy access to areas of outstanding beauty. I would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet and peaceful break.
