The cottage was perfect. Clean and very comfortable beds. Hot tub was fabulous. Although we were out of season, we could still use the sauna. My daughter really enjoyed the games room and play area, particularly the trampoline. We really appreciated the area to walk our dog too. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Even the little extras for the dogs was a lovely touch. We only had one issue but didnât at all effect our stay and that was the rug in the living area smelt of urine so we just rolled it up and put it out the way during our stay. We would love to return and stay again in the future and have already recommended to friends and family.

The man who looked after the Jacuzzi was extremely helpful and very approachable if I needed any help or advice. My son enjoyed the outdoor pool and we all liked the little play area for children and handy to walk my dog in while my son was on the trampoline. The bathroom handle was loose and the toilet made a slight noise but other than everything was perfect.
