We have never re booked a cottage and have stayed at many! The cottage has everything you need and the location by the waterside is stunning. The owner is so lovely giving us a lovely welcome and twice during our stay baked us fresh bread and cakes. The garden is perfect for dogs as are the local walks. We had a great week here and would definitely recommend it.
