This is an amazing cottage. Very clean, which is important to me, as I keep my house clean, despite having 5 dogs. The owners are absolutely lovely, and live next door. The garden is fully secure, which again, is important to me as our 5 dogs are rescue and are a flight risk due to being traumatised by their previous owners. We were delighted by ouRead morer stay here. The beds were really comfortable, which is also important to us as my husband is currently living with a spinal cyst.

Just be aware dogs are not permitted to be left alone in the property for any amount of time. We were required to take our dog even on short shopping trips when hed have been more comfortable sleeping at the cottage. The property was lovely and cosy during our October break.
