Beautiful.
We had a wonderful week at Galtons Cottage. We had a range of age groups in our party, there is so much room at the cottage. The location is lovely and so near to a lot of venues. The attention to detail was amazing. We had a lot of happy times around the amazing kitchen table. The log burner was very welcome, especially after a long walk. I can't recommend Galtons Cottage enough. We would very much like to return there in the future.

Great Stay - Thank you
We had a lovely time, the property had everything we needed from a log fire, to the hot tub and the games room. There were 14 of us from 9 to 84 years old and we weren't short of anything in the property, having holidayed a lot in large groups this is unusual! Thank you
