This is a great house, in a great location, and has all the equipment you need. However it was really let down by the poor cleanliness- including beds which had not been changed from the last visitors. If the cleanliness was improved then I would recommend The Eyrie.

Hi, the cottage is very well equipped, very comfortable beds and great storage for the bikes. The location is great for walking and cycling, with nice pubs to drink and eat, dog friendly. However having a church nearby that chimes day and night made it difficult to sleep. The McConnell family of x4 adults.

A lovely holiday home that is well organised with lots of equipment especially in the kitchen.
