Really cannot fault this property, nice and spacious for the two of us and are dog. Beautifully decorated, with a well equipped kitchen that has all you need Comfortable big bed and lovely walk in shower/bathroom,plus the bonus of a safe,enclosed garden. We were able to park right outside the property, and there was a scenic woodland walk literally right across the road! There are also dog friendly pubs within short walking distance and we can recommend 'Ruby's' fish and chip shop. There was plenry of information in the property regarding things to do in the area, and the owners had kindly emailed us all this info before our stay. Would definitely recommend and return!

Fantastic cottage, everything you need is there. Sally and Ralph are both excellent hosts, very accommodating and helpful. Garden is lovely and secure for small dogs too. Kitchen is well equipped, living area is comfortable with a good sized TV. Bedroom is cosy, bed is super comfy, the shower is a good size too with good water pressure. EV charging point is on site and can be accessed through arrangement with Ralph and Sally (its also cheap).All in all a great little place, we would stay here again and definitely recommend it to others. Thanks to Sally and Ralph for an amazing break. You guys are doing a great job!
