Your photos undersell the place, a few better pics of the actual property inside and out would be a good thing. Because it is really lovely. For example, it's the best equipped kitchen you coild ever wish for.
What a fantastic place! Check in process was easy Owners were really friendly and available if we needed anything. The location was brilliant- lovely to see the sheep and chickens from the cottage and the view was spectacular. The cottage is within easy reach of lots of things to do and we were out every day. The photos don't do justice to how nice the cottage is inside. Really comfortable and plenty of space for 4 people. Would definitely recommend to others and would like to return..
Spectacular scenery the views are amazing, beautiful cottage plenty of space well equipped and generous welcome pack, hosts are lovely available but not imposing _
exceeded our expectations a very restful and peaceful place xx
Myself and my mum stayed here for a short mid-week break and as soon as we arrived we were astounded by how amazing the views were. Denise and Dave are very welcoming and Grooms Cottage was immaculately clean and cosy with everything we needed. I would highly recommend to friends and family and we will be back soon.
