A lovely property but in March it does get quite cold. It is best to be visited during summer when it is warmer. The windows at the back of the property really need new double glazing to keep the heat in and the sound of the stream out.This was our third visit and in future any return will probably be made during summer months because there are a lot of lovely walks nearby and a great pub in the village which serves a good choice of meals for the evening after a long walk.

Very comfortable and lovely cottage. Great area for walking. The junction it is located on can get very busy and noisey from cars and motorbikes slowing down then speeding up . Enjoyed the week we spent there but wouldn't return due to the junction.
