Beautiful.
We had a wonderful week at Galtons Cottage. We had a range of age groups in our party, there is so much room at the cottage. The location is lovely and so near to a lot of venues. The attention to detail was amazing. We had a lot of happy times around the amazing kitchen table. The log burner was very welcome, especially after a long walk. I can't recommend Galtons Cottage enough. We would very much like to return there in the future.

Birthday/retirement get together
The house was very comfortable. The bar area was great for our party. The kitchen area and the table was ideal for our get together meals. The beds were very comfortable as wasnthe ambient temperature with the under floor heating. We enjoyed our days out at local places of interest.
