This is our second time staying here and it’s a beautiful cottage! So warm you wouldn’t believe it and very comfortable We feel a gate at the back garden to take the dog to the exercise yard would be a benefit and the path at the front was very slippery due to cold weatherOur day now lives in Durham so we would definitely come back and stay here, it’s very quiet too
