Guests say

Wagtails is a beautifully renovated, spacious cottage that is exceptionally well-equipped for guests and their dogs. Visitors consistently praise its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, including dog-friendly amenities and a relaxing hot tub. The property offers lovely walks and a delightful nearby café, making it ideal for dog owners and families alike. While the rural location is peaceful, some guests note the narrow access road and wish for an additional double bedroom. Overall, guests thoroughly enjoy their stays and often return.

Guests repeatedly mention the property is spotless and very clean, even with its dog-friendly focus. No negative comments about cleanliness were noted.

The cottage is praised for its peaceful setting, proximity to walks, and nearby café and pub. However, a few guests mention the narrow access road and lack of immediate shops as minor drawbacks.

Reviewers highlight the spacious, light-filled house, comfortable facilities, and relaxing atmosphere. The only minor issue raised was the paddle staircase, which some found difficult.

Facilities are highly rated, with guests appreciating the hot tub, dog shower, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful extras for dogs. The only suggestion was for an additional double bedroom and a gazebo over the hot tub.

Guests mention treats and little extras, such as dog towels, shampoo, and a doggy first aid kit, which are much appreciated. Please note that such gifts or extras are not guaranteed for every stay.

    This is our 2nd visit to wagtails 1st since its been refurbished and its great, this cottage has everything you could need, no shops local but Wellington is only 10mins drive away and has everything you would need, The Martlet Pub is 5 mins away in the village and serves fantastic food. Area is very peaceful and the hot tub is great after a day out, personally a gazebo over the top and the cover opening the other way would be nice so you could see the view. Even tho this cottage is geared up for dog owners the cottage was spotless and no smell of any doggies detected. A great visit and hope to be back soon
