Hilary
The cottage was of a good size , comfortable and warm, and had every thing youâd require for your stay, from washing up liquid to kitchen roll to every utensil youâd ever need. The garden was huge, with a stream running along the bottom which my dog thoroughly enjoyed a wee paddle in. Plenty parking space if travelling by car. The owners had also left some tea, coffee , milk in the fridge and biscuits which was very much appreciated. Another lovely thought/treat that was left , was doggy treats , which the dog loved, a ball and some poo bags. Communication between owner and myself was excellent, they gave clear directions of how to get there and let me know that the place was now available to use. When there, the owner came to introduce himself, which was nice to be able to put a face to the name. There are local shops right on the doorstep , a grocery shop , butchers shop etc. The railway is within walking distance if wanting to travel without a car. Would recommend this place to stay and would consider a return visit in the future

Spacious living area, hallway and garden.. Felt at home in the lounge. All the facilities needed for self catering. 1 - 2 minute walk to the grocers shop for catering supplies.

Clean and comfortable and warm when we stayed (October). Owner lives nearby and very friendly but not intrusive. Plenty of local places to visit for walks. Local shop across the road seems to have one item of everything you might need with a friendly owner. Highly recommended!
