Nothing was too much trouble for Trudy a perfect host. I mentioned there seemed to be a bit of a problem with the ironing board and a couple of hours later there was a brand new one in situ. We only planned to stay for one week but loved it so much we stayed for three and would have stayed longer if it had been available. I have no hesitation in recommending Dairy Cottage only wish we had discovered it earlier.

Our host Trudy could not have been more friendly and helpful. Every kind of disablement could be catered for, the property was warm and scrupulously clean throughout. During our stay in November it snowed and the heat was put on all day for us and a pathway cleared to our car. This property is to be highly recommended to anyone.
