We had a lovely break at the Bolthole. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, the dog loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was a real bonus. The owner was very helpful too. We would thoroughly recommend it!

The Bolthole was very comfortable, warm & well equipped. A lot of thought has gone into the place, shown by all the special little touches, especially in the kitchen & bathroom. This was our first holiday as dog owners so we didn’t know what to expect, but everything our pup needed, we had at hand. Thank you for giving us a wonderful week.
