    “We enjoyed a great week in this beautiful, cosy little cottage with our 2 dogs.”

    The cottage is very well equipped and dog friendly with everything we could have needed during our stay. The welcome pack was gratefully received and the owners really have gone the extra mile with thoughtful touches like cosy throws and blankets, dog treats and an OS map of the area and lots of helpful information about places to visit locally and places to walk from the doorstep. The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within about 15 miles so you don’t need to spend ...

The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within about 15 miles so you don’t need to spend lots of time driving for a day out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again if we were in the area.
