    Will definitely book to stay again.

    We love nice quiet places and this fit the bill. There is a cafe next door but honestly you forget it's there, and the staff were great when we had a problem with the Internet. The garden was a treat for the dogs and was fully secure, however if you have a smaller dog they could fit through the gate if they wanted to. The kitchen is fully stocked with all equipment you would possibly need, including a crock pot. There are 2 wood burners one in the dining room and one in the living room and they are really easy to use. The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable, and the bath is lush when you want a good soak. I would highly recommend Irt cottage to anyone considering it and wish we'd booked it for 2 weeks instead of one. Thanks for a great stay and well earned rest guys.

    The garden is large and sloping but still able to play games on at the top. In nicer weather it’s lovely to sit outside in the garden which could benefit from some outside lighting. Would definitely recommend.
