It really was a home away from home and I'm so glad we chose to stay there. Kate has thought of every detail and it was really appreciated. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

The owner left us flowers, biscuits, wine and toffees for when we arrived. There was everything we required in the cottage, even a lovely big bed, treats and poo bags for the dog. I forgot to bring coffee but there was some in the cupboard. The cottage is in a lovely village and quite central for places to visit. There is a lovely dog walk a little way from the cottage, which has lovely views. The owner has left lots of leaflets and books outlining various places of interest nearby. There also lots of books and games in the cottage to entertain guests in the evening after a long day out. The Greyhound pub is close by and very dog friendly. We had to leave early because of the terrible weather, which was a shame, just have to come back again. Angela and Ian
