Nelba Cottage was a wonderful base for our summer holiday. It was peaceful, very well-equipped, clean, easy to find and Brooke is a fabulous, friendly host.
The cottage was clean and welcoming, it's has a very relaxing atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away and relax in the beautiful surroundings.The kitchen is very well equipped better than anywhere I have stayed before.
My husband and I loved our visit to Nelba cottage, it has a great view and we found it very relaxing. The cottage is clean and has everything you need for your stay.
My partner and I just needed a short getaway just the 2 of us and this beautiful little cottage was just what we needed.
The views were beautiful, and the amenities were clean and well presented.

Thank you for your much appreciated review of Nelba Cottage. It is a special place to relax & unwind. So happy you & your partner enjoyed your stay!
Nelba cottage is beautifully presented and was so relaxing. The owner is friendly and helpful.The cottage came supplied with all we could need including toiletries and a beautiful fruit and chocolate platter on arrival.Top quality cooking utensils and crockery with everything you could need.I would definitely stay here again
Absolutely perfect. Clean, quiet and everything we were looking for. Brooke was very hospitable and really friendly. Definitely recommended. Thank you.
This light filled cottage is a bit of a tardis, being much bigger on the inside than it looks. There is a wonderful view, is very quiet and the cute dogs made us smile. It is a bit out of town for coffee shop addicts but worth it for the peace.
