Lovely, relaxing 4 day break with my friend and our 4 dogs. Hot tub was amazing. Accommodation was home from home and had everything we needed. Decorated for Christmas, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend. We will certainly return.

Overall a beautiful place, in a lovely location. One big negative was not being able to use the hot tub on our first night due to it being freezing cold. After booking the holiday you are warned the temperature of the hot tub might not be up to full heat on the first night, but it was freezing cold and unusable. This is a fault from the holiday booking website providing inaccurate information, not from the hosts themselves. Phil was very accommodating and the cottage provided all equipment required.
