This is a very well equipped house with good proportions. Worked really well for us as a group of nine. Very easy to get onto main roads in the area.

Sycamore Cottage was by far an amazing home to stay in. The house was immaculate, exceptionally clean, and well maintained. It is beautifully furnished, and the beds were very comfortable. There were 8 of us in our party and there was plenty of room for all of us. We really couldn't fault anything, and would definitely choose to stay again when we Read moreare in the area. Our only regret was that we forgot to leave a review in their guest book. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Hide
