“Excellent location & pet friendly”

Reviewed 4 Jan 2017

Our stay was over the New Year's Eve weekend. Location was ideal, 15 mins slow walk to Torver, two pubs, both served very nice food, friendly staff and dog friendly. The cottage had everything we needed. Included salt & pepper (this is reference to a previous review), slow cooker, dishwasher etc. Take your own coffee, tea, sugar & wash up liquid. Log burner & wood. The internet is slow ☹️ But both pubs have wifi. Upstairs floors are very creaky, but this adds to the quirkiness of the cottage.
