This is a wonderful place to stay if you like to be secluded. We stayed over Christmas, so it was just right. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, with a lovely cosy lounge and log burner. Sadly the local pub has closed down.

Lovely cottage, lovely location. Loved sitting in garden and watching the sheep being herded by the sheepdogs. The red kites circling over the mountains the owls calling at nighttime. The mist rising over the mountains in the mornings.

Sunnybank is a most welcoming and cosy cottage with plenty of room for dogs. There is even a fully fenced dog park two minutes walk along the road.

Everything was very acceptable and we had a fantastic week. The only shortfall, and this may sound a little over the top, was that there were not any toilet brushes available!! A lovely holiday, nice weather, wonderful scenery, thank you very much indeed.
