Stunning location - views from cottage are breathtaking and being surrounded by the hills and sheep is magical. Cottage is warm and feels homely with large bedrooms & comfy beds.

We absolutely loved Custard Cottage! It was homely, cosy and had incredible views! We found the sofas and lounge super comfy for the wet evenings and then spent most of our time sat at the huge dining table looking out at the breathtaking valley!
