The kitchen had all the necessary equipment for preparing light meals. The garden was perfect for our dog, safe and secure. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and left treats for both us and our dog. Thank you. Unfortunately itâs only let down is the availability of parking. It is very difficult to manoeuvre anything bigger than a small car, plus the neighbour opposite will not allow you to use even a few feet of his property even though this isnât clearly defined. Generally we had a good week there.

It was a very enjoyable holiday, the only downside was the access through very narrow lanes off the property and difficulty parking. The step up into the property could make access difficult for some people. Access to the very nice and compact garden via the steps could have been trimmed back. The owners were very accommodating and it was nice to receive a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Thanks to Sandy and her partner for the use of the cottage. Very much appreciated. Ike and Val
