We had a lovely week away at chainbridge cottage, the setting was amazing, with the trains to the rear and the river Esk to the front. The cottage was beautiful and clean with everything we needed. The front room curtain rail needs attention and an outside light would be fab for when your letting the pooch out. It was lovely and warm with storage the heaters being on all the time. And we even had the snow . We will definitely be back.
