Everything I needed was there for me and my dog. Lois, the owner, is very friendly and on hand in case you have any questions or problems. Although the cottage is down a small lane, it's kept accessible even through the snow that came down one night during my stay. The cottage could be kept lovely and warm, and I used the log burner with the logs provided. I'd be happy to go back again.

The area was fabulous for walking, weather wasnât so good but we managed to get out every day somewhere different. Very quiet and peaceful and our dog was really happy there. The owners were very kind, friendly and helpful, to the point of saving me a 2 mile walk! Thank you! Well worth a visit to this comfy cottage and lovely area.
