A lovely holiday cottage, with stunning views of the countryside and a well equiped kitchen. The home is very wheel chair accessible, my Gran-in-law had a wonderful time. There are plenty of accessible things do just a short drive away (the host provided a very useful list). The hot tub was wonderful, especially after the stars came out at night. Would thoroughly recommend a stay to anyone who wants a relaxing trip to the countryside.

We had a lovely weekend at Trelaw.. appreciated the welcome basket and bathrobes and slippers! The hot tub was a lovely addition. Kitchen had all the mod cons needed for a comfortable stay. Multiple visits from slinky the dog who my daughter loved :) only thing I would say is that the toddler slide and games were a bit run down and dirty and the bbq was rusty so we couldn’t use. Thanks again for a lovely stay!
