A lovely cottage, with a delightful patio. Easy to walk from on traffic free paths to nearby villages. Will be perfect when the pub on the road below reopens.
Lovely cottage with everything you might need for a weekend away. Beds were comfy, bath was a bonus after a long walk in the hills. Location is fabulous with spectacular views from all windows. Pub is a few steps away which was also great.

Beautiful cottage and stunning views and location.
Beautiful cottage and stunning views and location. We hope to come back!The cottage warmed up after a couple of days - think it had been empty for a while. There is everything you need for equipment but you will need to bring essentials like milk and butter or cooking oil etc. the village shop opens from 10-12 in winter.

We enjoyed our week at harriets cottage . Very quiet , beautiful scenery and lots of amazing walks . The cottage is well presented and the owner has provided a very comfortable home from home . There is no phone reception At all though so you will need to pick up a phone card to use with the cottages land line before arrival . We’re not aware of this beforehand . I would highly recommend this cottage to avid walkers , the scenery is breathtaking .
