Comfortable cottage in excellent location. Lots of amenities in the immediate area. Perfect for dog walking. Basic equipment in the cottage. Although the garden is secure for dogs, the dyke to the side of the garden is open and very muddy. My dogs found it immediately!! Lovely owners, just up the lane. Beware of the stairs. This is a very old cottage with very steep and winding stairs to the bedrooms. Bathroom is downstairs so something to consider if you need to use the loo during the night.
