We absolutely loved this cottage. It is very cozy and well equipped with everything you may need if you want to cook. The accommodation is very dog friendly and there are a number of throws, dog bowls and treats to make your dog feel welcome. The village is lovely and the people are friendly and welcoming. There was a bottle of wine and some shortbread waiting for us when we arrived which was a lovely touch.We stayed in the cottage for 1 week and it felt like a home from home. Would highly recommend Little Cottage.
