Ivybank Cottage

Great location, beautiful views. Very well equipped. Nicely furnished. Comfortable and warm

Pillows

The view from the cottage and the garden were beautiful. Such a quiet and peaceful location that you can properly relax in. The small sun room was perfect when cold or wet, and to see the red squirrel. We put out nuts and it came by around 8am several times. The cottage is well equipped and the beds are comfy. There is a good size parking space. There is a small post office and shop in the village with basic essentials. It takes cash only, but you can take cash out at the post office (when it's open)

The only thing that let the cottage down was cleanliness. It wasn't terrible, but we did do some cleaning on arrival to feel comfortable. The showers had mold in (thankfully we brought some mold and mildew spray which made the main shower better). And a better general clean down would be good. There was dirt on the leather sofa (which we saw both on the sofa and on the wipes we used to clean it down), and the drinks coasters had brown stains on, for example. The washing up brush was a discoloured and we didn't want to use it. The house could also do with a bit of love, a few rusty old radiators could be replaced for example.

We arrived on a dark, rainy night to a warm & cosy cottage. The cottage is very clean & very well equipped, it had everything we needed. Instructions for the heating, tv etc was provided along with information on the locality. Len provided very thorough advice for our visit and very quick to respond to any queries we had. We hope to return to Ivybank.

Tranquil, Everything you need in a beautiful location.

The house is gorgeous in the most beautiful setting! The facilities were perfect, and had everything we needed.
