I have just returned from a 4 night stay at hope cottage. Its a beautiful spacious cottage with everything you could need. We went for peace away from fireworks and didn't hear anything. The hill is steep and does have steps to get from the car space to the cottage. I would definitely return but sadly its just become a no dog cottage. So for me I need it to be dog friendlyWe visited plenty of national trust sites.Thank you
