The place is beautifully renovated and we had all that we needed for a comfortable stay. Our greyhound loved the giant dog bed! Kate called us on the day to give us instructions of how to find the property which was really helpful, although the written instructions were also accurate and easy to follow. Great location for exploring the peaks. We will be recommending the cottage to friends and family as a lovely dog-friendly getaway!
