We have had a lovely time at Bolt Burn, the cottage is very cosy and clean with everything you need. The owners were very welcoming and the amazing welcome hamper was very much appreciated. There are walks from the door or enjoy the peaceful large garden which is well kept. We would definitely return thank you for a lovely stay.
