D&L is a lovely spacious cottage, it’s really light and has a beautiful feel about it as you enter. The Furnishings are first class. Beds and pillows are really comfortable. It’s in a great location you can walk everywhere. Bus and train connections are a five minute walk away. It’s very dog friendly and the garden is secure.
