My partner, myself and two small dogs had a lovely relaxing time at Chapel Cottage. Comfy beds and sofas, log burner for a chilly evening, popular pub just down the road, walks on the doorstep or within a short driving distance. Plenty of kitchen equipment provided. We will return! Directions to find the cottage excellent.
