My two dogs loved the area the only problem is that they sometimes get too tired to want to go back out

It was clean, comfortable and spacious. Our dog was was well provided for with a bed, towels and bowls being provided. The weather was not quite good enough to enjoy the outside spaces which was a shame. The onsite parking was great! On the downside we found the bedlinen very scratchy (perhaps it was new?). Additionally the kitchen would work better if the fridge and freezer positions were swapped over. All minor points, on the whole we thought the cottage was great.

It was in a great position for exploring the area. As previous reviews have said, it is best to have another person on the other side of the road when leaving the parking space. As stated, the cottage is on the A82, so there is road noise.
