Lovely cottage, everything we needed for our holiday. Kitchen was well equipped, bedrooms were a good size and everything was very clean. There were even dog bowls, treats and a towel left for our dog. The welcome pack was well thought out, my husband appreciated the ground coffee for the cafetière which was a nice gesture from the owners. The garden of the cottage, as was the cottage, was very well maintained. The owners were very good with communications and were available if we needed them. We would definitely stay there again as we loved the cottage and the location. We had a few visits from the owners beautiful (and friendly) dog and did enjoy the bagpipe practice the we heard one day.
