The cottage was absolutely stunning. Now back home, I am sorely missing the views and the quiet.
It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
The owners are just next door and are very nice people, friendly and accomodating (but also, most of the time, you hardly know they are there). They left a tray of essentials including freshly baked bread and a lovely homemade parkin which we devoured.
The track up to the house is a bit steep and narrow but we managed to get two cars up (fully laden) with no issues, just go slow! The benefit of it being well off the main road means that this is very quiet and secluded, no road noise. Just the sound of the river and some sheep.
We had three kids with us (10-14). They loved being able to wander around the land and down to the river, which was very quiet until the rain, and then a torrent.
At night we were lucky enough to catch the Perseids Meteor shower and a little bit of aurora. Very little light pollution here.
We didn't do any walking which I regret but this would be a fantastic spot to hike from.
I would love to come back to Roger Pot and highly recommend.
