Was a good little stay for a quick getaway

Nice flat but very cold in mid-winter. The heaters were only on or off so we had to leave one on all night it was so cold.

Stay was nice and cozy, good for a quick getaway. Only thing I wish was posted on the listing was that the room is underneath the house and you have to go through the side of the house to access it. Other than that it was a great stay!

We loved all activities in area . Waterfall walks well worth doing. Stay at property was comfy inside well catered for but access was difficult

Edwina’s cottage was a lovely retreat for us. Comfy bed, great kitchenette, warm flat and quiet location.

Our host was very welcoming and the accommodation was very nice, our only problem was the heating it was very cold and the electric heater was not sufficient to heat the room we had to have the little fan heater on to warm up the room, otherwise we would have given it 5 stars

The garden flat had everything I could have needed. Even though the weather was cold, the heater, throws and electric blankets made it incredibly cosy. Edwina was very helpful with any queries I had. And the lovely hot shower was wonderful after a long day hiking!
