The property was warm and clean but requires maintenance in places and updating, many things unfortunately failing within the property during our visit. It's a very good location but issues reported need solving before I would revisit or recommend.

Generally this cottage was clean and comfortable with a glorious view of the dale. Kitchen was well equipped and microwave and oven were excellent. The bedrooms in the front, have wonderful views. The back bedroom is much smaller than the other two and needs some updating. The lounge/diner has large comfortable sofas with a central coffee table. WeRead more used the dining table to play board games in the evenings but the lounge could do with better lighting. Hide
