The cottage is only 20 minutes drive from a 24-hour supermarket, a cinema and numerous eateries, but once you get here you'll feel as if you are truly in the middle of nowhere. We live just across the yard if you need us and we'll do everything we can to make your stay comfortable, relaxing and quietly memorable.

Cosy remote cottage, separate office, bike storage

This beautiful rustic single storey traditional 18th century cottage, built from local pink sandstone, was bought by my father in 1986. I've been going there since I was 7 years old.

A great area for walking, cycling, fishing, bird watching etc. It has a separate office with hill views, bike storage, open fire, and recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom.
