This is by far one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in, the location was excellent, its about 2 miles from Brough, really enjoyed the hot tub, its well furnished and very comfortable, and best of all for us the garden was secure which meant the dog was safe out in the garden on his own which he liked , laying in the sun, will definitely go back.

Really great location everything was perfect

A lovely, peaceful & tranquil place. The owners were lovely & were on hand if needed. The weather wasn't on our side, but this didn't detract from our stay. Our holiday was all about chilling, relaxing & re-charging our batteries, which we did. The hot tub was great (we managed to use it in-between the showers) & seeing the sheep/lambs, a few cows & rabbits when you looked out of the windows was delightful. The cottage was clean & had everything you needed. Nearest main area for purchasing groceries/pubs & takeaways was Kirby Stephen, a short drive away. Would definitely recommend Santorino's takeaway. Thank you for a lovely stay.
