The cottage is in a perfect setting for us as we like to be remote. There is plenty of parking and outside space, the dogs loved it. The summerhouse is a good idea and space to relax, surrounded by the friendly cows. There was a lovely welcome pack (nice surprise) and the owner popped in to check that everything was ok.
