Our second visit, cottage is warm and cosy in a fabulous but quite isolated location which really suits us. Plenty of walks from the door, we didn’t have to leave the estate on our short break. Some problems with a new heating boiler so it kept going off and we had to keep re-setting and wait for a plumber but response was quick and everyone was very helpful. Great boot room which is very handy for drying down a wet and muddy dog. Fantastic welcome box and we even had biscuits, poo bags and a towel and bowl for our dog which was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable, the only thing I’d really like to change is the carpets which have seen better days and the shower in main bathroom could do with an update, although this time we didn’t use it and used the bath in the en-suite instead.
The cottage was hard to find and the information was not wholly clear. We were not informed beforehand that the cottage was at the end of a very rough track through two fields. Had we known this, because we have a car with very low ground clearance, we would not have booked this cottage.
Excellent spotless property.very well stocked.so peaceful. Thank you
Very cosy cottage, we were lovely and warm with a plentiful supply of logs for the fire. The outside lights had thoughtfully been left on prior to our arrival and the fire was laid, ready to light which we appreciated as well as the generous welcome hamper. Cottage has gorgeous mountain views and gets the sun first thing which is lovely, we actually had breakfast in the garden in January! The house next door was a bit closer than anticipated but both have private gardens facing away from each other so wasn't a problem. Molly, our young retriever had a fabulous time running around the garden and in the field next door. The beds were comfortable with good quality duvet and pillows and the only slight negative is the shower is tired and water temperature unreliable. However, generally a lovely cottage and we do plan to return.
A wonderful Christmas break, comfy befs cosy fire and wonderful walks for the dog
Lovely cottage - comfortable, well-equipped, and very cosy with the wood burner going. Its situation is spectacular. The housekeeper and Rural Retreats really looked after us.
Lovely clean and well equipped cottage. Little cumbersome to access with three gates to negociate but well worth the effort. The welcome hamper was well received and generous. Plenty of information provided.
Great cottage in a lovely location with lots of walks around the estate.
Lovely Cottage in the middle of nowhere with lovely walks from the door.
Great cottage in a lovely location. Doors are a bit awkward for taller people An ironing board would have been useful. But other than that, it was pretty perfect.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
