!SELECTED!The c!ENDOFSELECTED!ottage is In a great location for a walking holiday. With the canal opposite the boats drift by as you hang your washing out in the sweet garden, which was also great for our dog to mooch around. The neighbours and locals are very friendly. The cottage was nice and warm and the beds comfortable. In the village are two Read morepubs on the canal serving good food. The cafe/local shop was also great.

Great cottage for walks just opposite the canal, perfect for watching the narrowboats each day. Garden fully encl for our 2 dogs which was reassuring, and they appreciated the extra touches like dog treats etc! Be mindful the nice neighbours have a very friendly cat if your dog is off lead in the garden. Very well equipped kitchen for self cateringRead more with high quality utensils. There are 2 low beams entering the master b/room (not shown on photos), so for tall people choose the other bedroom! Hide

Lots of space for the two of us and Martha our Airedale. She always uses a crate at night time which is quite large but it was easy to accommodate it in the dining room. We absolutely loved the cottage and the location, our airedale terrier loved the garden and enjoyed chatting to the neighbours who always spoke to her, so friendly. We will definitRead moreely visit again next year. Hide

Loved this cottage. It was very cosy and the dogs loved the garden. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many walks and places to explore. Both of the Pubs serve tasty meals and were very welcoming.
