  • "We loved our stay at Skelder."

    It’s a real home from home, so comfortable and warm and with everything that you need for a relaxed holiday. The layout of the cottage worked perfectly for us, we all had enough privacy with cosy areas and loads of space in the beautiful big garden for the grandchildren.

    The house was wonderful , it took us a while to get used to the oven , but got there in the end :) Just a little bit of feedback , the back door lock is very stiff it was a struggle to get it locked each time . Otherwise all was perfect thank you .
