Everything we could possibly need was provided for us including linen and towels. The log fire which we lit each evening made the sitting/dining room very cosy. The kitchen was particularly well appointed with double oven, hob, microwave, toaster and air fryer. The wardrobes in the bedroom are of high quality and the fully enclosed garden was a very safe space for our two dogs. We would most certainly revisit.

The cottage was well stocked with logs for the log burner and had everything you needed (kitchen goods, towels, books, DVDs etc) our dogs were very settled there and we spent a lovely couple of days just relaxing. Steve was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely return.
