My sister and I had an absolutely lovely stay at Sparrow cottage with my dog Finn. The cottage was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and exceptionally comfortable. The local area is stunning with beautiful views and the coast is a mere 2 miles away. There are plenty of places to visit and most places were very welcoming to dogs. Mark, the onsite manager, couldn’t have been more helpful and ensured we had an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed our holiday there so much we’ve already booked to revisit in 5 months time.
