We picked the Cottage for it’s location, near our son. The garden was excellent for our two dogs, secure and large enough to run around. There is ample parking, and the local pub (The Dog) was lovely, we went for breakfast 👌.next time we are over from Northern Ireland, we will definitely boook it . 👍
