Brilliant accommodation in prime location

Everything about this property is wonderful. Charming, warm, inviting are a few words to describe how much we enjoyed our stay. Fully stocked kitchen, rustic and full of character. The garden is stunning and the indoor plants so conducive for happiness. Great location and would stay there again.

Perfect Location

Fantastic location with great views from every window. Morning coffee on the patio with views over sheep in the fields, stone walls and a nearby stream, topped off by the mountains, was a great way to get the day started.

Lovely farmhouse property.

View of Pen-y-Ghent from the bedroom window is stunning to see. The owners are next door but only around if you need them. Thanks for the lovely stay, the biscuits and tea, coffee were a thoughtful touch too. Will stay again. Thanks again

Characterful cottage in beautiful surroundings

Property is on the edge of the village with a great view of Peny-gent. The cottage was clean, warm, spacious and ideal for two couples. The decoration was dated but suited the style of the cottage. The hosts were friendly and available but not obtrusive. We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage enhanced our holiday.
