We had a lovely week away at chainbridge cottage, the setting was amazing, with the trains to the rear and the river Esk to the front. The cottage was beautiful and clean with everything we needed. The front room curtain rail needs attention and an outside light would be fab for when your letting the pooch out. It was lovely and warm with storage the heaters being on all the time. And we even had the snow . We will definitely be back.

The cottage is in a wonderful location between the river and the railway line, very quiet, cosy and has everything you need.It was lovely to feed the ducks and swans every day and also to see the steam trains passing. We even got to see the northern lights whilst we were there! We all had a great holiday, thanks
