Lovely warm comfortable cottage, with a great view , lovely hot shower and comfy bed, felt a bit perturbed re dog fur, as the overall cleanliness of the downstairs was not that great, the stair gate was not user friendly either . Would stay again for the location and great walks from the door, maybe cottages.com need to assess their cleaning crew
