Such a lovely, relaxing place to stay. The owners were great. The cottage is very clean and well looked after, perfect for a couple with a dog, The small, enclosed courtyard was ideal if you are staying with a dog and just want to let them out briefly. Also there's an amazing dog park only 5 minutes away in the car, plus lots of lovely walks in the area. The Black Bull pub up the road was dog friendly and the meals were very tasty. Just like lots of others who have left a review we have booked to stay again next year. It really is that good.
