    !! It is well equipped and very comfortable. The whole place is a delight and highly recommended. It has everything needed for a relaxed and memorable holiday. THANK YOU!!!

  • Jenny

    Warm and comfortable, with the exception of the lounge sofa that has tired seating which makes it slightly uncomfortable. That being said it's only a minor issue. Excellent location, walks from the door plus many other attractions / walks are only a short drive away. Thanks for allowing dogs, the garden is not secure having an open shared drive. Not a problem for us just something to be aware of. Overall a good cottage and a great holiday.
