Easy to access the local area.Cottage is warm and comfortable, with the sun room a great bonus. The large (shared) rear garden is dog safe and great for first and last walks.Great double shower cubicle, and separate bath. Shower is powerful with plenty of hot water.Comfortable bed with plenty of storage. Comfortable furniture in lounge area. Large TV if required, but reception not the greatest.Well equipped kitchen.Flowers and wine nice welcome gift.

The cottage is lovely and very relaxing and the host was very helpful - answered any queries immediately. Our only niggle was the wi-fi being slow, but we are used to very fast speeds at home, so did not complain - it did not spoil our stay at all. Would recommend highly.
