The cottage is very welcoming comfortable and ideally located for lots of interesting places. Everything we needed was available. Having booked the cottage as dog friendly which it definitely was it was a little inconvenient with all the rain that there was no where for the dog to go. The dog instruction requested not to let the dog go in the garden(back yard). My elderly dog struggled with this being on a fairly busy road.

We arrived to find Elms Cottage exactly as described, a lovely little place in the village of sad Burge. It had been carefully, thoughtfully and beautifully presented with everything we needed to move in after all nearly 300 mile journey!! I had some contact with the owner, Emma, this proved to be an excellent addition to the value. The Cottage gave us.
