Beautiful area, fantastic accommodation wonderful hosts. Need I say more, just stay there and tell the premier inn to get lost, you won't regret it. The view at the back is amazing. The local eateries are nice and Pete and Sue who own the place could not be more hospitable.

So pleased to have stayed at Hunters Cottage. Everything from the location to the decor to the personal service was a joy to behold. Having arrived later than expected, we received a warm welcome and a very kind offer of hot drinks which, to our delight, were accompanied by warm homemade cakes! The wet room is wonderful and its given... More

The best place we have ever stayed. Peter made us feel immediately welcome. The breakfast was amazing and we were full for hours. The bed and breakfast itself was stunning, beautifully decorated, every little detail perfect. Looking forward to coming back in September

Hi Lindsey and thank you for your lovely review. It was enjoyable having you both stay here - and of course, to have a carpenter admire the woodwork is the greatest compliment a man could give me! Hope everything is going okay with your daughter. Hope we see you in September., My very best wishes, Pete More

A wonderful (but too short) stay at Hunter's Cottage. Attention to detail great, from the yummy breakfast in the morning to the thoughtful hot water bottle for night. A perfect retreat from a busy life. Modern, warm and welcoming. Cannot praise enough. Best bit, high thread sheets and honey yoghurt on the b'fast tray. Worst bit, going home. Lots to... More

The owner greeted me politely and immediately made me feel at home. The service from then on was friendly and of a very high standard. (nothing appeared to be too much trouble) The room and bathroom were decorated and fitted out to the standard you would expect in a 4/5 star hotel. The breakfast was absolutely splendid, with lots of... More
