The property is well-equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen, good heating, hot water, and a fireplace. Minor suggestions include a shelf in the shower and a boost for the WiFi, but overall satisfaction is very high.
Guests often mention generous welcome packs and attentive, friendly hosts. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

A lovely lodge to stay in. Nice welcome pack left for us. Although we didn't meet Danni she phoned us on route to give his directions and explain a few things. Her husband and family were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. A lovely break and if we are in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to book this lodge to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Stone Cottage and the heating was very good for February. The owners David and Danni were very helpful. We did find the drive out was very difficult due to the bend in the road. Please note for dog owners that there is no enclosed garden which can be inconvenient but a footpath is just a stone's throw away.
