Lovely stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, especially the log burner! The cottage is cosy, snug, clean, tidy and well equipped, we didn't want for anything. It is in a good location, everywhere we wanted to visit within close proximity. The Wilsons pub just down the road is a friendly and welcoming place, serving really good food and big portions! Hopefully we will return for another visit soon.

Torver, the old dairy

The property is ideally situated in torver. The area is good, it's well placed for lots of walks straight from the door, so we barely used the car. The garden is partially secure and is shared with the other two properties. We loved our holiday and will definitely be back.
