Great location. But felt tired and was poorly equipped. Two showers, both really poor. It wasn't cheap, but was a long way from being of a high standard. Just trying to be honest.

Lovely cosy cottage. Owners quickly responded to queries and many extras thought of like hand soap and a few dishwasher tablets which makes big difference on arrival. Nice new garden patio space was pleasant to sit out in. Thank you

We had an amazing week at Dew Cottage. The location is absolutely stunning and Ian and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Being able to use the surrounding fields for the kids to play in was a fantastic bonus too. We would highly recommend the local pub, the Farmers Arms for a Sunday lunch. The 4 waterfalls walk and a beautiful walk to the top of Table MouRead morentain were particular highlights for us. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Would definitely recommend. Hide

A lovely quiet location. The cottage itself was comfortable, but seemed a little tired and in need of a bit of TLC. Some literature about the local area and walks etc would be a good addition.

Lovely cottage in a countryside location. Nice accommodation in a quiet place away from all the big towns, but close enough to drive to everywhere you need. Great for families and good that we could bring the dogs too!
