Beds are very comfy. We had two dogs with us and it was a nice touch with the dog bowls and handy to have a dog bed too. The garden is also enclosed which made things a lot easier for the dogs. Pub across the road very friendly. I would maybe suggest providing bigger towels and also maybe a high chair/travel cot that can be stored away easily as had to bring ours with us but obviously not a deal breaker and understand not everywhere is equipped for young children. Thank you for a lovely stay

Looking at the feedback other people had left in the cottage, the shower issue and the fact the bath plug was faulty had been mentioned before and not been actioned so it was annoying to say the least. In addition the garden was unkempt , the grass hadnât been cut and as a result we didnât sit out in the garden which was a shame. As part of a welcome pack they include dishwater tablets but there is no dishwasher ?! This has also been mentioned previously. The front door lock/ key is really stiff to open and therefore could be a risk if there was a fire. This has also I believe been mentioned before. The cottage is lovely but it is these things that let it down.
