    We loved it so much we booked another night. Thank you to the owner. The cottage has every thing. Dish washer and a washer was a massive bonus. Very peaceful area. Parking wasn’t an issue. There’s two at the front and 4 at the side of the property. Very clean and welcoming. It’s on a step hill but it’s only a few seconds till you’re off it. A garden for our dog was perfect. It’s much bigger than we thought. New kitchen. Short walk in to Salcome which was paradise. Shop which we only discovered as we left two streets up (Spar). So it’s easier to nip there than walk or drive to the co-op. 5 min walk down to the village. Lovely pubs and an amazing pizza place. All dog friendly. We will defiantly be back. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you.
