The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean and really well-equipped with everything we could ever need and more besides. The owner contacted us before arrival and left some treats for us to enjoy. It was cosy even during the cold snap. While there isn't parking available outside the cottage, we were able to park close by at the end of the lane every evening.

I felt instantly at home and enjoyed my week enormously. The cottage is well-equipped, has everything one could possibly need and the thought and the care which has been invested is phenomenal. It is often the little details that make places special and that certainly applies here. I imagine that dog owners will be particularly impressed with what is there to make their petsâ stay comfortable, too.
