The owner Mandy and her team were so nice and welcoming. The cottage is set around a lovely courtyard with several other cottages, all part of Laskill Grange and nestled in the picturesque Bilsdale Valley. The cottage was very warm, cozy, clean, comfortable and had all the things you would need. Although we were self catering they also provided meals up at the main house which were amazing. The setting and cottage was fabulous but its Mandy and her team that went the extra mile to make our stay feel special. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back soon.

Matresses too soft for us and duvets too heavy, pillows were very worn, no support.
