    Lots of little extra details make it perfect, treats for the dogs, fuel for the log fire, lots of books and games, good tv choices and the internet connection was great. The kitchen is really well equipped, cafetières for coffee and lots of pans to cook with, the range oven is so good! The garden is lovely with and outside light that is perfect for winter nights, and the local area is lovely too. Only things to point out is the garden is perfect for smaller less adventurous dogs, but ours is seemingly part mountain goat and she managed to escape over the stone wall to the right of the cottage very quickly, she came straight back of course and we had long lines with us, but it’s worth making sure you check this is suitable for your dogs, the owner discussed this with us before arrival and was happy to answer any questions. Finally the master bedroom is one of the comfiest beds I’ve had in a holiday cottage, but the singles in the twin room we found extremely hard and had to double up quilts on them to make them soft enough to sleep on…this is entirely personal preference but just something to note it that’s important to you. All in all a lovely lovely stay, highly recommend it and would rebook in a heartbeat.

    Due to its age, issues such as stairs and head height can be challenging but that’s what you get with such properties. Cottage was comfortable, especially the double bed, generally very well appointed especially the kitchen, which I find with many rentals can be sadly lacking. The large cooker range facilitated a family gathering more than adequately. The heating system worked well but I struggled a little with understanding the remote control. Cake and milk was welcomed upon arrival but no wine as some reviewers have mentioned

    Good communications by text with the owner, both in advance and while we were there. Pleasant garden for those going in warmer or dryer weathers. The second bedroom is very basic with not even bedside tables, chairs or storage facilities. This might be better as a single room, which would allow room for these facilities. The living room had information abut the local area, reading books etc, but these were all piled haphazardly on the window sill. Perhaps add a bookcase into the room so these can be looked at more easily. A bonus was free access to Amazon prime and netflix channels. Some people might think having a knitting shop in the village is a bonus.
