We had a wonderful few days at Foxglove Cottage, the setting is beautiful with so much to see and do

We had a wonderful few days at Foxglove Cottage, the setting is beautiful with so much to see and do in the area. 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.

Had a lovely few days in the cottage and lovely area.

Had a lovely few days in the cottage and lovely area. Bathroom could do with a bit of repair on the bath panel looked tatty. Matresses too soft for us and duvets too heavy, pillows were very worn, no support. Having said that we would stay there again and take our own pillows :) :) Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
