Well-equipped cottage

We stayed here while attending a day course at River Cottage HQ. It was well-equipped and very clean as well as being handy for the course. It's quite small but very cosy and everything works.

Picturesque Cottage

The cottage was easy to find and straightforward to get to even though access was via a single track road. On arrival, checkin was easy and the instructions from the hosts clear and easy to follow. The cottage had many of the essentials and was a comfortable stay. The stairs were steep and some of the doorways were low, but we expected at a country cottage. For us, it was a good base to explore the surrounding area for a few days.

Remote traditional cottage

We enjoyed our two nights at this cottage, there was plenty of information provided beforehand and on site by the manager. The venue was warm, clean and included all linens, even little extras like milk and shower gel! The location was amazingly picturesque, but very hilly and remote, which worked for us as a family, but could cause access problems for some.

Great little place for a break

We stayed for 2 nights in October half term. The place was plenty big enough for a family of 4 and a dog. It was cosy and warm and we were grateful for comfy beds and good bedding. The enclosed garden was great for the dog and the whole stay was really easy. We only wished that we could have stayed for longer.
