Heated balcony floor next to hottub was a great surprise! Would recommend anybody that likes squirrels to bring some nuts for them as they are very entertaining.

The area is lovely and we particularly enjoyed the extremely dog friendly Hotel Rudyard. We would definitely like to return,

The property is well maintained and very comfortable. It's worth noting that the road to the property is very rough and muddy. Also slightly disappointed with the communication from the owners, a welcome email wasn't received, so we were unaware the hot tub wouldn't be available on our final night. However when my husband spoke to the owner he made sure we were able to use it. There was no information in the property except for a few leaflets left by previous holidaymakers. In the past we have been used to a folder or something to let you know about the property and surrounding area. Thanks to Google though we were able to investigate the area during our stay.
