As dog owners the tiny enclosed area around the barn was insufficient and despite being in a park all dog walking had to be on a lead. On arrival there was no ‘welcome pack’ or local information re restaurants, pubs, walks, etc. The cottage was comfortable enough but lacked a homely touch and the obvious lack of cleaning was disappointing, far too many cobwebs etc.
