    Fantastic panoramic views from the garden. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

  • Sarah

    Cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We stayed with our 2 teen/young adult children and there was plenty of space for all of us. Food at the Ellerby Inn was delicious. My only complaint is that the garden is not secure for a dog. Our cocker spaniel escaped into the neighbours garden and out into the parking area.
