    The cottage was beautiful and clean. Very grateful for the wonderful welcome hamper, well stocked including home made treats. The children loved the swing and the surrounding land was just lovely. However, in our opinion the grounds were not dog friendly. Only 5 minutes after arriving our dog ran into the cattle grid at the end of the driveway which was not gated. She was badly injured and obviously this spoilt the holiday. There were sheep right next to the property and gaps under the fencing. Please be aware you may need to consider keeping your dog on a lead the whole time.
