“Travelled up to BYC for the week celebrating the New Year celebrations.”
Booked Beaver Grove cottage after looking at lots of possibilities but chose this [place due to the look of the place and the location to the town it's self. It's just a short walk of about 12 mins over Sappers suspension footbridge into the station area, head towards the trains and there is a pedestrian foot bridge over the tracks to the town centre. Here you will find a great selection of pubs, restaurants and shops to keep you entertained.
Beaver Grove is set in the grounds of another rental property which share the gardens and surrounding grounds. The gardens are not secure to let dogs wander around unsupervised but this was not a problem for our two labs. The cottage is of tiled floor down stairs with a carpeted front room. As it was winter the boot room/front hall way was a god send to get changed out of wet muddy clothes and the wood burner in the lounge was kept well stocked.
Dogs are not permitted upstairs which again was not a problem for us, though the dogs were not impressed.
There is an external shed for bike storage and you will have to bring your own padlocks to secure the bikes/door though there is nothing to padlock the bikes to inside the shed and the door is very old with a very old chain. I personally locked all the bikes together and to the cycle rack in the shed and was happy with that. Plenty of cycling in the area and the old Marin track just a short ride up the road for a nostalgic MTB ride.
We really enjoyed our stay and had a great time riding, walking, running, Zip worlding and eating out.
Please remember that once it get dark at Beaver Grove, there are no street lighting till you get to the town as such, so remember torches for evening walks back home from the pub/restaurant or to take dogs out before bed.
Great place to stay, will be back.
