We loved the view, but not the weather, I'm sure the walk into the village wouldn't have felt so long if it had been warmer. Well equipped cottage, decorated well, cosy warm (crazy to say this for a July booking). Comfortable bed, great shower.

This was my second stay in Mole's Cottage. I had returned as I already knew that it was a very nice cottage, and it was in a good location for a walking holiday. It was even more important to have somewhere lovely to stay this time, as the weather was poor and more time had to be spent indoors. I particularly enjoyed sitting in the sun room and looking at the views.
