Reviews

The cottage had everything needed for a weekend away, comfortable, good facilities and excellent views of the hills with lots of wildlife

Mr S,

Great place to stay clean tidy and warm ,will be returning again.Not very happy though with the £25 non returnable extra cost for breakages,The company Originalcottages already take a lot from the customer for booking fees,don’t get to greedy Original Cottages or you will lose customers.

Mrs J,

We had a lovely time both in and out of the cottage. It’s a stunning area to visit with plenty to see. But it was so nice to stay in and enjoy the views too, especially all of the birds that come to visit the bird feeder.

Mrs M,

Very quite comfortable accommodation with plenty of creature comforts. Everything you could possibly need has been taken care of a real treat home from home. Just turn up and enjoy

Mr B,

Absolutely fantastic stay! The home was everything we could’ve asked for - warm, comfortable and with a well-stocked kitchen! Great location with many day trip possibilities but also just a fabulous spot to relax and watch the sheep. Really good for birdwatching too, a very busy birdfeeder!
