We stayed at Blackhills Farm Cottage for 38 lovely days. For the first two weeks we were joined by two good friends who were pleasantly surprised at the choice I had made.
The cottage is very comfortable and well located for day trips north, south, east and west. Its rural setting is quiet and very enjoyable -- we saw lots of pheasants, grouse, geese, a few deer, rabbits, ravens, and of course sheep!
The two story cottage has a large master bath downstairs and a 1/2 bath upstairs where two bedrooms are with double beds. There is plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. Downstairs there is a bedroom with two single beds. The house is set up well for children to be there -- we didn't have any with us but appreciated what was there. One note I would empasize: if you are over 6ft 1inch, do not stay upstairs. The ceiling is too low.
The kitchen is very well appointed: great prep-ware, cookware, utensils and cutlery, a nice big kitchen and plenty of storage space.
The kitchen has a combo washer/dryer which is great once you sort out the best settings for your laundry. They also have a good drying rack, if you prefer the old fashioned method of drying. The kithcen closet has an upright vacuum and a hand vacuum which is great for fast cleanup of dropped crisps that get crushed! Of course there is also a broom, mop, ironing board and buckets.
The living room is comfortable with a great fireplace, plenty of DVDs and books and lots of regional guides in the drawer in the credenza.
The wifi got upgraded while we were there.
David and Julia were very responsive hosts and a pleasure to meet.
We highly recommend a stay here for a stay of any length of time.
