Absolutely brilliant stay. The cottage was perfect for both our families, large rooms, perfect location, hot tub. The kitchen is a great sociable space and we spent most our time between there and the sitting room. The hosts are fantastic, any issues or anything required during your stay they will try their best to accommodate very quickly.Loads of parking spaces, under cover aswell, which was a bonus. Log fire with plenty of fuel.Set within woodland, great for walks out, down to the viaduct, watch the red kites flying past.Not sure what else to say apart from this is a great place, cant really fault it, will definitely look to book and stay again.Thanks for a brilliant long weekend away.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Steelclose House this August. The house is so beautiful and well looked after and the kitchen was my favourite room. Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to come back.
