Bear Cottage

Pros: Absolutely beautiful location, so peaceful and remote with fantastic walks from the doorstep. Dave was friendly and helpful and the cottage had everything we needed.

Superb once you find it.

Pros: Great place with plenty of space, more like a cosy flat really.

Cons: Getting to it is difficult as it is not in the gps. You need to go up a track called Artists Way from the village of Furnace, which heads inland from the main road close to the bridge. You then go a few kilometres up this track until you get to a cleared area with the buildings on the right. The place could do with a modest sign to let you know you are there.

Pros: Great host, helpful and great communication. The cottage is quirky and well furnished. All you need and the location is wonderful. Can't wait to stay again. No hesitation.

Peaceful getaway with lots of lovely walks and scenery

Pros: The property is so lovely, it’s quiet, peaceful and has the most amazing view. Dave is so friendly and gave us suggestions of what to do in the local area. There’s loads of walks from your doorstep and so much to do. We will definitely be returning!

Too short.

Pros: Accommodation, comfy beds, big TV, excellent modern shower room + superb kitchen.

Cons: A little too far off the beaten track.

Pros: Very polite host. Spacious garden and very calm environment. The beds were very comfortable, and the cottage had some character!

Cons: The shower and the sink in the bathroom struggled to drain, nothing major.

Stunning and relaxing

Pros: This has been our favourite so far and we've stayed at a lot of places. We had our own little cottage with a fully equipped kitchen and lounge with Netflix and prime logged in. It was super clean, modern and comfortable. Loads of memorabilia to keep you entertained. We didn't want to leave it was so cosy. Dave was friendly and helpful. We didn't see him again after he showed us around. You travel a mile down a lane and its the first place you see. Next to a beautiful brook. It was very picturesque and I kept expecting to see the forest creatures.

awesome place!

Pros: good vibe but especially the location in the middle of nature, exceptional beautiful!

The Cottage was perfect for our needs - we only needed an overnight stopover on route.

Pros: Enjoyed the quiet, secluded location in a beautiful valley by a river with woodland all around. The cottage was well furnished & equipped and large enough for a long-weekend stay. Lots of pictures & memorabilia featuring classic film stars added a quirky attraction and gave the decor character The beds were comfortable and we slept well.

Cons: Whilst the kitchen area in the living space ingeniously planned and had everything you needed for a short stay it was nonetheless a little bit tight in places and work surface was inevitably at a premium. This was NOT a problem for us.

Great quality of all the fixtures and decor with everything you need and nice hosts.

Pros: Location was great. The road to it feels long but isn't really. In bad weather maybe a bit more care needed.
