1706 is a perfect retreat, if you are either looking for a place to just chill, or as a base to explore the neighbourhood. Julie is a very friendly hostess, and the welcome pack was just that!!

What a hidden gem. Our dog loved it in the enclosed garden and walks from the doorstep. The cottage was very well equipped and warm and beautifuly quiet. Local pub a 20 minute walk serving good food and sunny outdoor seating if the weather is good and also dog friendly. Plenty of places to visit nearby including Talking tarn. The host Julie was lovely and welcoming and easy to contact. Will definitely go back.

Cottage beautifully presented and spotlessly clean throughout. Being down the end of a dead end road means its very quiet and a drive to any of the local shops however for us this very much a plus point. Asda did deliver the shop for the week we the day we arrived so didn't need to take much.Enjoyed sitting in the garden (enclosed any very safe) and watching the wildlife, excellent for stargazing at night as well as with nothing around no ambient light to spoil it.Beds lovely and comfortable and a real treat to be able to throw the windows open in the morning and look out at nature with a brew.Shower excellent plenty of hot water and very good pressure.Wood burning stove very easy to use and clean although didn't need it much in August.Kitchen lovely with a supply of tea, coffee, sugar and milk to get you started.Utility room with a spare freezer and washing machine plus sink excellent as well.Julie our host couldn't have been any nicer and left us a lovely welcome pack of wine, cheese and crackers (thank you again Julie)Walks straight out of the garden, especially enjoyed Geld Woods which were spectacular in the morning sun.Overall just a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location - couldn't rate it highly enough.
