15th – 20th May 2021

February 4, 2022 by Alison in

We had a fantastic stay at Crosskeys Cottage. We were originally due to come over Christmas but of course Covid made sure that got cancelled. Craig & Alison were very accommodating in moving our dates.

We lucked out with the weather as it was forecast to be a washout but we got beautiful sunshine all week (the odd shower didn’t count).

We will definitely be booking to stay here again!
