Confirmed Guest
The cottage was lovely, it was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed.The only negative was the missing hand held shower head, which we assume, is going to be replaced?The hot tub was a real bonus, which we made good use of.The garden was lovely and we enjoyed watching the cows in the neighbouring field.We have a 13 year old dog, who is blind and prior to booking we, were not informed that we would not be able, to leave her alone in the cottage. This resulted in us having to take her with us, everytime we left the cottage and due to the temperarure and busy holiday season, this was far from ideal and was restrictive.

A great well equipped holiday cottage, central to explore the local area, and heading back for a relax in the private hot tub.
