A lovely place to spend a week! Dog friendly and cosy and warm. No local amenities so don't forget your bread and milk, but there is a lovely cafe and somewhere other than the field next to the cottage to walk the dog off the lead, and it is just up the road! 2nd time we have visited and we will be back again!!
