“Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful cottage in a stunning setting ”
We had a really lovely stay at Pont Esgob.
The cottage is beautiful, and the owners have taken care to provide everything you could possibly need - lots of books, DVDs, walking maps and a very well-equipped kitchen.
The surrounding area is breathtaking, with great walking and lovely villages to visit.
The weather was very cold during our visit, so we didn’t have the opportunity to take advantage of the garden, but it would be a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal in the summer.
The stairs to the bedroom are very steep, so it might not be suitable for less mobile guests
Local Gems:Lovely home-cooking-style food and friendly staff at The Crown at Pantygelli, just down the road.
