We had a great 5 night stay last week. We took our Labrador Oakley and he loved it there with beach walks 3 times a day. We sat and had coffee in the front garden sunshine every day overlooking the estuary. The house was very welcoming and comfortable and we found a lovely gift waiting for us when we arrived. The rooms were light and bright and we would love to return later in the year.

The property: a good kitchen, comfy living room and good beds. Unfortunately the Smart TV doesn't support subtitles, so as my partner is deaf, we had a TV-less week. There was some nuisance from the building work next door - our car was blocked in by vans a few times. Great walks and views along the estuary.

A nicely furnished and well equipped dog friendly cottage. Beautiful views of the sea/firth from the front windows. A good sized bathroom which would benefit from another radiator in winter. The back garden is separated from the house by the back alleyway. Dog walking out front is very easy though.
