This property has an amazing view and great kitchen and this was really good. The parking was great too. Sadly, the garden is not accessible and not enclosed so no good at all for dogs. This was an issue as we chose the house as dog owners. The cottage is very tired and needs some tlc - then it would be great choice and worth the money.

This cottage has the most incredible view, we spent hours looking at it. The house and the linen was also very clean when we arrived and well equipped. There were some downsides though, the garden is difficult to use comfortably and therefore the only outside space is outside the conservatory area where the view is not as good as from inside the property. It wasn’t an issue for us because the weather was changeable but on a hot summer week this would have been a problem.
