We had a lovely time at Amanda's charming cottage. The view from the living room windows is simply stunningand the small garden is so pretty - perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening. The bedrooms are a good size with plenty of storageand the furnishings are really nice. The bathroom was well fittedand the kitchen had everything we needed. The dryer had a small fault, but honestly, it didn’t spoil our stay at all. Would definitely return!

The cottage's location is perfect for exploring local sights, including the Emmerdale set, which was fun! While there’s no secure garden for dogs, the nearby 5-acre field was great for walks. We didn’t use the hot tub, so can’t say much about that, but overall, pretty good stay.
