Exceeded all our (high) expectations. We are very picky about where we stay and Ellie’s Cottage hosted by Margaret excelled at everything. The location was superb - far enough away from other people to be nice and quiet but only a short drive to various places (we really rated Emilie’s at Glenbeigh) the cottage itself was fabulous making the most of the beautiful views while being simultaneously cosy and spacious. It was lovingly decorated and fantastically equipped. It was so kind of the hosts to supply lots of delicious extras like the home made scones and fancy chocolates along with other basic necessities (even toothpaste and shower gel which we realised we had omitted to bring). We loved seeing the hares at various points around the house and also watching the ravens circling about calling to each other. The house caught the sun on the sunny days and we think it must be amazing to be there during a really wild storm. Great walk up to Windy Gap and further afield if you have the time/energy. All in all, easily one of the best places we have been lucky enough to stay in. We’ll certainly be back, thanks a lot.
