We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Location is handy for lots of attractions in the area. Very comfortable and well appointed cottage. Great shower. Very well equipped kitchen including items like salt, pepper, cooking oil, sugar, some tea bags. Underfloor heating which meant it was kept very warm (there in the winter) and we did not need the wRead moreood burner. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. The surrounding lanes are very narrow with high hedges so need to be careful if you have to take your dog for a walk. Nowhere to let a dog off lead (big sheep area which we knew it would be). Dogs are not allowed upstairs or on the furniture. Hide
