What a beautiful place. It was perfect for me and my family 2 adults 1 child and 2 dogs. We loved how secure it was for the dogs and my daughter. It was super clean and well equipped. The hot tub was amazing and was checked every morning by the owners. The owners did the best job ever and went above and beyond for us. We called it a mini version of our home and we will definatly be back next year. Thank you so much for our welcome basket it was the cutest. You can tell the owner take pride in what they have and what they do. Lots to do out of the cottage and everything was close. 10 stars from us. Thank you for everything. ❤️

Unfortunately this holiday home was far too small for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Although I understand that we did arrive and ended up with a heatwave. We quickly found having no air conditioning and not being able to open the patio doors in one bedroom due to health and safety it became too hot. Each room was 28 degrees too uncomfortable to sleep. On checking in the hot tub had no buttons and was not working. Also several jets were not working properly this was also a shame. We managed to realise that it had tripped at the wall. We did try contacting the owner but he was asleep as work shifts which was understandable. We also felt the home needed updating as chairs were badly worn, plates were chipped along with dining table and outdoor seats which were broken. Also a funny smell in the outdoor area near as lots of dogs going outside and urinating so smelt awful in the hot weather. Although we were told from the owners the outside area is jet washed after each stay the floor was stained with urine. Not a pleasant smell in hot weather. Outside the front garden also had lovely wrought iron table and chairs but were full of birds mess. Sadly we would not return. Even though the area was beautiful and peaceful.
