Janet
The major of the property was comfortable, the bathroom was far too small, the shower almost unusable, you needed to be a contortionist to use the toilet, which was not effectivly segregated from the kitchen- the only door directly into the kitchen was a sliding door . Upstairs,the majority of the space was unusable, due to the sloping roof. This was not emphasized in the description. Unfortunately, we wouldn't stay here again, or recommend the property to others.

The owners were prompt in responding to any need we had and went beyond expectations to help us with information and help with special needs we had for our dog. The nearby walking paths were lovely. The limitations of the cottage were mentioned in earlier reviews

Really good dog walks on the doorstep. Hosts were welcoming ( chocolates a lovely touch) but left you to your own devices. The paddock for the dog was nice but as itâs not securely gated we had to keep our little one on the lead and would be nice to have a secure area by the front door so you could just let them out and use the seated area without keeping them on the lead. We only noticed the issue about head height from reviews post booking, not an issue for me but my partner is over 6ft so he had a slightly bruised forehead. The weather was not on our side but overall a lovely place to stay and the accommodation would cater for mostly all needs and would book again if we were heading back to the area.
