The cottage is absolutely superb, rustic feel to it and very tranquil in a rural location. We went as a group of 6 with 4 dogs, and had a great time. There is a gate straight into the huge garden, and the garden attaches to 2 more fields which we were allowed to use. The dogs were able to enjoy being off lead and running like mad! There is a small Read moreissue with flies, (understandable being a working farm) which we managed with fly strips and citronella candles. Superb - we will be back! :) Hide
