Great, cute cottage with plenty of spaceespecially if you're traveling with a dog! The garden area is beautiful. Shame you have to provide your own toiletries given the nighty price! It also could have been a little cleaner upon arrival, but we still enjoyed our time here.

Nice cottage, well equipped and clean , central for touring with friendly owners.I did feel embarrassed having to ask for a second toilet roll as only one supplied for a 7 night stay.Also however a couple of things could be easily addressed, the light above wash basin does not work, likewise one over the worktop. There is quite a lot of black mould around the shower and on the tiling below the door.Outside there is a small delightful garden but desperately needs tidying and the garden furniture could benefit from some TLC.
