4th time at Brookside, lovely little cottage in a beautiful spot, perfect for us and the two dogs. It has everything we need and is handily placed for shops etc. Weather wasn't great but rather the odd shower and 18 degrees than high twenties of the previous week - much better for the dogs and we could take full advantage of the great walking from the door.
