Had a great time over Christmas in this cottage . However the cottage makes it clear that it is dog friendly but which you would think that it had a some outdoor space which it didn’t and I think this should be made a lot clearer and also the laminate floors throughout the ground floor were very noisy .On a positive note the cottage was well equipped and very clean and warm .

Had a lovely time and ideal for my parents. Had milk and a biscuit left for our arrival. Roger was very helpful on any questions we raised.

Cottage war genau so wie auf Bildern. Perfekt geschnitten und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Kochgeschirr eher für 2Personen ausgelegt als für 4 Personen, wir habe einen großen Topf bzw. Pfanne, vermist und ein Meser, das wirklich schneidet. Waschmaschine war defekt u Gastgeber war schnell u unkompliziert sehr hilfreich. Insgesamt haben wir und wohl gefühlt und können es empfehlen.
