    We had everything we needed for our self-catering stay including nice touches such as ground coffee, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The interiors are decorated with beautiful fabrics. The location is wonderful with stunning views and the stone cottage is utterly charming. There are a variety of outdoor areas to sit or have meals and a must is the overhang cave within a short walking distance behind the cottage.

    I want a place to be spotless and this ticked all the boxes for me. Clean bedding, clean room, clean bathroom, clean kitchen. Everything you need in the kitchen. Nice romantic fireplace, heater in the bathroom. Everything was spotless. Fantastic smell when we walked into the place. I would recommend Grove cottage. It has been upgraded and is better than the pictures. Very nice breakfast delivered to you every morning. Near to town, you can walk.
