Tyas Cottage

Location

Nothing

Beautiful home and the owners were friendly, welcoming and helpful.

The weather made access to the house difficult. Ice and snow meant that we had to park a considerable distance from the property.

The house is beautiful furnished with heirlooms and high quality appliances. It is cosy and warm with comfortable beds and linen. The location is perfect for walking out to many footpaths; the old packhorse route is particularly good. Lovely gardens to wander with a babbling brook at the bottom. This house is steeped in history the visitor informations explains it all.

I know that the access is listed as difficult, but you do need a suitable car to enter the property. It would be fine on a dry day, but with slippery leaves and damp cobbles and steep incline, it can cause some stress. That said, once you've done it the 2nd time is not so bad. The water pressure was also quite low for showers and baths.

Fantastic cottage in a very remote and quite location. Decorated to the highest standards and very well equipped. Hosts were lovely and very accommodating.

It is extremely rare for me to write a 10/10 review, but Tyas Cottage deserves that and more. This is an absolutely stunning property in a beautiful, peaceful haven. It is decorated to the highest standards throughout and it is spotlessly clean. We stayed for 3 nights, but could have happily stayed for weeks on end. John and Vicky are the most charming, thoughtful and kind hosts you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. My youngest daughter is extremely fond of her bedroom at home and doesn't always sleep well when we are away, but she stated emphatically that the bedroom (together with the bed linen) she slept in at Tyas Cottage was the cosiest and most inviting bedroom she had stayed in when on holiday...ever. This is praise indeed, as she is quite particular. The gardens are a joy to behold and it is so clearly a labour of love for Vicky, who tends to the gardens with such dedicated care and attention. The four poster bed in the master bedroom is not only an exquisite work of art in itself, it also offers an unbelievably comfortable and restful sleep thanks to the mattress and the beautiful, crisp, Egyptian cotton bed linen. My girls had some intensive study to complete whilst we were away and my husband also needed to work on one of the days. The internet connection was so good and so stable that my two daughters were able to participate in online video lessons. The peace and tranquility was perfect for my eldest daughter to practise past A-level exam papers. A gorgeous, relaxing break in an unspoilt and tranquil idyll. Thank you, John and Vicky, for making our stay so memorable and so special.

Nothing to dislike. It was perfection.

The owners are extremely friendly and proud of thier cottage.

While I am happy driving to the cottage it might be surprisingly difficult for some people due to the steepness and narrow roadway.
