The cottage is clean, cosy and welcoming, and the little extras we received upon arrival were a lovely surprise; cake, milk and a little dish of dog biscuits, which our furbabies very much appreciated! A selection of Tea and coffee was also provided. The owners have gone above and beyond, to make guests feel at home, and we hope to visit again soon

Very well equipped and welcoming. Our only negative would be the beds - both mattresses are hard and the bed frames very creaky. None of us slept particularly well during the stay due to this.
