| Previous Visitors' Comments | The views from most of the rooms were magnificent, as were the views during the drive to the property. The house was very comfortable, the location was unspoilt and very peaceful, with lots of local wildlife (domestic and wild). We had a very enjoyable week.

Jul 2008 | This cottage was very remote. If you do not want to be bothered by people or traffic then this is the cottage to stay in.

May 2008 | The grandchildren loved waking up to see the farmer feeding the animals.

Mr Riordan, Chicago, Illinois
Mar 2008 | I loved the location - the views across open moorland were spectacular and the remoteness made it perfect for a get-away-from-it-all birthday celebration with friends. The accommodation was also perfect for the eight of us with enough space to not feel on top of each other. We all loved the kitchen, always warm and welcoming - and in November/December that was particularly valuable!! Of course the Aga made the kitchen even more of a delight but the open fire in the living room was also a favourite.

Dec 2007 | A wonderful location and exactly what we were looking for after a hectic year. We will certainly be returning.
Mr Kerr, Hartlepool, Durham
Nov 2007 | The location of the farmhouse, its interior, very tasteful furnishings and ambience. Loved the open fire and the aga and the views. If you need to get away from it all, then this is the place.

Miss Skilling, St. Albans, Hertfordshire
Jun 2007 | The cottage was absolutely lovely.
The peace and tranquillity was wonderful especially at night. We all enjoyed sitting round the open fire in the evening. The Aga in the kitchen was a warm welcome when we arrived.
