The cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They made us feel right at ease from the moment we arrived, and it was clear they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment. Our dogs absolutely loved it here. The surrounding area was perfect for walks, with plenty of space for them to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was good to find a place that was not only dog-friendly but also clearly understood the needs of dog owners. Overall, we couldnât have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. Weâll definitely be returning for another stay. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with their furry friends.

No mention of owner being a breeder with her dogs having access to the fence of the secure dog field attached. This was also not very secure, dogs can easily jump over or if small enough like ours they can fit through the gaps. Also breeders dogs barked alot and antagonised customers dogs. Fence between patio should not have gaps so dogs cannot interact unless owners want them to. The field should not extend around the side of number 1 as it gives clear view into bedroom and kitchen with no blinds or curtains in the kitchen. Should not ask customer to do recycling at the end of the visit as it was very confusing.
