Plenty of outside space for everyone and the dogs to enjoy. The only negative is the stairs to the two bedrooms are rather steep and narrow. We went for a long weekend which was just right for me as you are a drive away from local amenities. Donât forget mosquitoe candles and spray as they are everywhere this time of year!!!

With us on our week we had family from 3 different households and dogs and it had everything we needed. Everything was clean and in its place,the garden,hottub and field was perfect. The owners who I had to call twice during our stay because we actually wanted to extend our stay even when on her own break away was so helpful and kind and took the time to deal with us. I can not recommend this beautiful home and area enough. You will definitely be satisfied..

Absolutely nothing to fault. The space was perfect and in the middle of the countryside with nothing but nature all around us - where we also enjoyed a few walks. Inside the cottage was very homely with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. The weather was also wonderful, but that just added to the experience where we spent most of the time out the back, eating, having a few relaxing drinks and spending time in the awesome hot tub out the back too! Thank you for making this lovely cottage a lovely experience for anyone who enjoys a nice escape to the country, which we most appreciated!
