We have stayed here several times and it never fails to impress us. Very well thought out the improvement to the outdoor space looks lovely and makes it a great place to sit out and knowing that the dog is safe. The slight change to the parking that was needed to enable the improvement to the garden didn’t cause us any issues, nice parking area just a little further down the drive from the cottage but still within the grounds of the cottage.Everywhere was clean and tidy and it was well equipped. The location is good just a 15-20 minute walk to the city walls or catch the bus the stop is only 5 mins down the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it faultless. A credit to the owners
