We stayed here for a short break and it was fabulous. The cottage is beautifully equipped and furnished to a high standard. The owners are friendly and gave a call just before our arrival to check if we needed anything.I loved the little touches - flowers, cookies and prosecco for the humans, doggie treats and poo bags for the canines.Very comfortable bed and just all round perfect!
