We had a very enjoyable stay at Ikkle Cottage.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Ikkle Cottage. The cottage was well-equipped and cosy and provided an excellent base for exploring the local area. The added bonus was having a pub right next door so we could enjoy a drink after a day of sightseeing. Would definitely recommend.
