Lisa
Fab little cottage, really well equipped and spotlessly clean. Secure garden for our dog with an outside hot water tap for muddy paws. The cottage is rural but very accessible for exploring the local area, including some lovely dog walks nearby offering great views. The hot tub is a welcome treat too after a busy day! There are also a couple of nicRead moree pubs just a short drive away. Hide

A great holiday home for a couple and a dog. Lovely walks close by, and great places to eat locally. We were very lucky as we had sunshine everyday.
Laura
Wonderful property, highly recommend! The cleanliness was outstanding. It was perfect for us and the enclosed patio area meant we could relax in the hot tub knowing our dog couldn't escape. Great amenities included and nice little extra touches, like dog treats and a folder with things you can do in the area. Would 100% visit again!!
