    “The Old Dairy had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week.”

    It was a bonus to have the glasshouse and pond area for additional space to unwind as well.

    We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay at Tritchayne. So sorry if there was a dog smell when you arrived - we thoroughly clean each cottage between guests and we’ve also cleaned the carpets following your feedback to ensure there are no lingering smells. Hope to see you again. Best wishes John Property Owner
