The cottage is very well equipped and dog friendly with everything we could have needed during our stay. The welcome pack was gratefully received and the owners really have gone the extra mile with thoughtful touches like cosy throws and blankets, dog treats and an OS map of the area and lots of helpful information about places to visit locally and places to walk from the doorstep. The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within about 15 miles so you donât need to spend lots of time driving for a day out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again if we were in the area.

I can't really add to what has been said before. My five night November stay was made even better by the dry, warmish weather. I had a good walk one morning to the top of Crook Peak with my cocker spaniel Sam. Wonderful views from the summit which is just over a mile from the cottage and 600 foot of ascent. I'm 82 so have a go. You'll enjoy it! Wouldn't hesitate to return. Plenty to see in the area. The coast is not far away.
