Cottage is in a good position. Safe village with walks on the doorstep for my dog. John the owner is very accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Sue was also very helpful. If you want a peaceful break, but not too far from bigger towns if you want a bit more life/activities, it's a good choice.

The property is lovely, clean, has everything you need, we all had comfy beds and pillows which is nice as we usually struggle with this when we hire cottages. We were fortunate to have nice weather, so we took full advantage of the outdoor area. The garden is fully secure, our two dogs loved it, they also liked Jasper the lab. Would love to go back and would recommend this cottage to stay in.
