Just what we needed. Sarah and Roger who own the cottage were so helpful. Everything was spotless .We would visit again. You do need a car.

Host lives nearby and is friendly and on hand should it be required. He advised me of a local and great walk close to the property, which I would have been unaware of, so great local Knowledge. Lovely to see the local wildlife (bats / birds) and the hosts own sheep at the bottom of the enclosed garden to the property. Very dog friendly. I did find the WiFi slow and made the host aware, but this is the only slight negative. Happy to stay here again.

From the accommodation, the nearby walks and the dog friendly bars and restaurants, it was perfect! If I had to find something to critique, then it would be the connection to WiFi and TV channel connection on freeview, but we didnât go away to watch television, so didnât really care. Lovely all round, owners lovely and will definitely be revisiting
