The owner communicated well with us so we understood how the place worked to ensure we had a pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. We were welcomed with some provisions such as biscuits, tea, coffee and milk to settle you in, all very nice touches. Our two small dogs enjoyed being there and settled in quickly. What I would say; there is a lovely front lawn but due to the type of gate our small dogs couldnât use it unless there were tethered. Not a major issue as the back and side garden was sufficient. We would recommend and love to stay again.

It was a perfect place to stay with two of the bedrooms and bathrooms on ground floor. The cottage was immaculate and had great facilities. The owner phoned me on our arrival to talk me through some useful information about the property. Would highly recommend.
