The property is well-equipped, with thoughtful touches throughout, and offers a secure garden and relaxing hot tub. Its peaceful location is ideal for walks and exploring the area, with a delightful café and pub nearby.

Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotless, very clean, and beautifully presented, with no pet odours despite being dog-friendly. This consistent feedback indicates an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness.

Guests love the peaceful, rural setting with walks from the doorstep and proximity to a café and pub. The only minor drawback mentioned is the narrow lane with overgrown hedgerows, but overall, the location is highly praised.

The cottage is described as spacious, comfortable, and well-suited for both humans and dogs. Comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere are frequently mentioned, with only a minor note about the paddle staircase.

    Fantastic cottage who have really thought of everything for the perfect break with dogs. At last a holiday cottage that says it has a secure garden and actually does! A beautiful cottage that is spacious and clean with some lovely added touches. Plenty of walks around the area and you don't have to drive far for days out, so a great location. Icing on the cake is the hot tub. We had the perfect week in this lovely cottage.
