Lovely place to stay

We had a wonderful few days at Ervine Cottage. The hot tub is a new addition since we last stayed and we took full advantage of it: stargazing on an October night was memorable. The cottage is lovely, homely and warm. The view from the conservatory is beautiful. It feels like a real retreat. We will be back (all being well).

Summer holiday

We had a lovely stay at Ervine Cottage. The cottage was perfect for a family. Situated in a quiet rural location with stunning views. Plenty of walks and cycling and a relaxing time in the hot tub. The hosts Barbara and David couldn’t have been more helpful and their dogs Lucy and Jenny were great fun. We will definitely be back to explore and relax again.

Perfect getaway

A perfect cottage in a perfect location. The cottage had everything we needed & more, a welcome tray awaited us with milk & fresh juice in the fridge. The outlook was beautiful & we made good use of the hot tub which was so relaxing, even in the rain. We will recommend this accommodation to family & friends. Thank you for a lovely stay.
