Great cottage beautifully furnished and finished. Everything you need for the stay. We travelled to have a family reunion in the area and the cottage was perfect. Penny was a great host, there if you need anything but feels so private and uninterrupted also. The description states a narrow step drive and it is accurate. And the place can be hard to find without the provided directions so make sure to trust them over GPS. Thanks for a memorable stay
Maintained to a high standard and a homely cottage to stay with dogs. All we needed for dog walking and relaxing. Lovely find at the top of a steep hill!
Great location. Good size rooms. Clean and comfortable Good walks from the cottage

EVERYTHING WE HOPED FOR
As summarised in the details given we found S.R.G.Cottage as described and more. Follow the excellent directions given as some of the party relied on their Sat Nav and had problems.The drive up to the Cottage, across the bridge and up the hill was always filled with animals, views, and anticipation of being met by Franklin such a friendly dog.
The layout with large porch for boots, coats, etc. ideal and great layout of accommodation for family holiday being clean, well equipped and welcoming. Couldn't find any egg cups but no problem as cut up the egg box, no problem, sorted and children thought great! Outside cobbled area and walks directly from Cottage made up for no garden space, though we didn't all reach The Meadow enjoying the comforts of the Cottage.
Thank you for a great stay.
