Skys were dramatic. Dog friendly and there are walks from the cottage. Friendly host. The cottage was clean and comfortable with good storage. Plenty of towels and we appreciated the milk and sweet treats. Combi boiler and TV are probably due for an update. Would have liked a casserole dish for cooking and maybe some instructions for the appliances. Good to have a shop on site.
