Superb cottage with great views

Anchor cottage is without doubt one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. From our arrival we just fell in love with this property Anchor cottage is situated in the small village of Cresswell nd has superb views over the bay from the kitchen. The lounge window overlooks Peel tower and fields. Upon arrival we were greeted with a home made chocolate cake and flowers, which were a wonderful treat. Luckily the owners Nigel and Jane were staying next door and were very helpful in recommending walks in the area and also where to eat, which we took full advantage of. There is also very detailed information within the cottage along with maps, books and dvds. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable and is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. If you like peace and quiet, and walking this property is for you. Will be returning without a doubt.
