Charming self-contained cottage

Cons: Nothing!
Warm and inviting free standing, self-contained cottage, 5 minutes away from the centre of Belgrave. Lovely furnishings, the smallest details taken care of. Gorgeous garden surrounds to look out on, especially with the autumn colours. Generous continental breakfast, and the owner Margaret was lovely and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Cute and comfortable attic bedroom, with 2 beds, tv/dvd player and heater was a bonus and made the stay fun! Close enough to the Belgrave town centre to walk, and take advantage of cafes and the cinema. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, highly recommend and will definately return!!

A stones throw experience

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing comes to mind
Location: Puffing Billy is the star attraction, the scenery is outstanding and a drive through the puffing billy route I'm sure would be just as relaxing.
Belgrave has alot to offer and a stay at Stones Throw Cottage will not disappoint, its cosy,comfortable and well appointed , the cottage is within a 10 minute walk to town and the main attraction Puffing Billy, if you are arriving by train take my advice let Margaret know and she may be able to come and pick you up.
