Reviews
Beautiful homely cottage clean organized stunning sweet touches well looked after everything you need is there I am in love lovely village lovely people beautiful views definitely a place to go for 2 so romantic so relaxed really felt I was home
This little cottage made a great little escape from the madness of the city, placed in a lovely little village with great walks and just a sort walk to the local pub or take away! Parking was easy right outside the door. The style of the cottage was lovely it was modern and classy meets cosy and homely. The kitchen had everything you need to cook there was a cute little note left by the owners explaining how things worked. Bed was very comfy And the bath room was clean and stylish. All in all great stay, we will definitely be back!
We stayed between Christmas and New Year and loved it. You can walk out the door and straight up onto the moor which is stunning. Or walk down the hill into the village with all the amenities. We were made very welcome in the local pub. The historical context of the building was really interesting (old workhouse infirmary). Parking was easy. We will be back.
