If I was being picky then could do with a king size bed in one of the rooms and the heating never really got hot but just lit the fire and the whole cottage was cosy. Thank you

The cottage is in a great location, close enough to take our dogs on some good hikes and days out but it was also hidden away in a quiet area, which was perfect for us. We were a party of 2 Adults and 2 Dogs and the property was spacious enough just for us. The property had upstairs and downstairs bathrooms which was great. The only drawback for us was the heating system, when we eventually got it to come on, it just wasn't very warm even with all of the doors closed which is not what you want when you been out walking in the wet and cold all day. You can light a fire in the living room, but that isn't the solution to it being cold throughout the cottage. The enclosed adjacent garden is beautiful and very scenic, our dogs loved zooming around in there. All in all we had a fantastic stay and would definitely go back in the future.

Had a minor issue with lighting, but this was sorted out very quickly by the owner.
