A wonderful cottage in a beautiful location. We visited with our 18 month old daughter and two dogs...and it was a perfect place. Walks along the canal, exploring the mountains, and pub dinners. The welcome hamper at the cottage was a lovely touch. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage, well equipped and the host was a dream to work with, so easy and clear. Beautiful to watch the river, lovely fire and relax. The bed is super comfy and even though its a toll house its a very quiet room and low traffic noise.

A beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with a wonderful comfy bed. Even though it was right on the road, I did not hear the traffic at all.

Beautiful location, great views. a well presented feel roomy and ycosy. Great walks available from the door, gentle or more taxing. Friendly village, great local stores locally owned. A great choice of restaurants in the village from casual to more formal, or a choice of takeaways available. Close proximity to many attractions, we enjoyed Horse ridRead moreing, boating along the canal, Alpaca walking, scenic railway, zip lining, kayaking and much more. Would highly recommend. Hide
