Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but near so many places to visit! We loved the fire and the hot tub and boss the friendly doggy. The underfloor hearting was lovely and the feature of the bellows and tools in the kitchen was fab!

This is a very clever conversion from a blacksmiths shop which provides very cosy warm accommodation. The area is stunning and there are so many things to see and do. The local pub is great and whilst you will feel remote there are towns nearby with everything you will need. Overall this is a really good cottage.

Great cottage, really well equipped, specd to a really high standard, and in a great location for peace and quiet and star gazing. The features in the cottage linking it to its history were unique and really made it a special place to stay. Will definitely look to return as we had such a great week. And we loved Boss the dog!

What a superb cottage which tells a story as soon as you walk into the kitchen and see the forge and bellows. The rest of the cottage is very much in keeping with the theme.
