One of the nicest places we have stopped at. The cottage is a lovely place to stay, clean, tidy and the kitchen has everything you need for your stay including an air fryer! The beds were the most comfortable we've had whilst on vacation. The gardens are more than enough for our four legged friends, and the lane outside the cottage is fab for morning and night time walks.
