The cottage was lovely, lots of charm and original features. It was perfect for our dog too who loved the large garden. It was situated in a nice village with a pub two doors down!

Great very spacious cottage in a great location with a wonderful back garden for our little dog. Nice comfortable beds and all the equipment that you could wish for, I would recommend. The water pressure is very low hence the shower is less than good, I would suggest a pumped system boiler which would fix both problems.
