The photos donât do it enough justice I think, itâs much nicer! The kitchen and dining space is one large room (dual aspect) with plenty of room for dog beds. The living room has an amazing view from the patio doors, onto a small but perfectly sized fenced in lawn, to the countryside beyond. Ideal for those with dogs. All stone flooring downstairs, with the large downstairs toilet/utility room perfect for drying wet dog towels, and the installed stair gate was great. Situated down a very quiet country lane (for brief dog walks) and other walks only a few minutes drive away. Black Rock/Widemouth Bay beaches were also great to visit, even in the Winter! Although we stayed there during a rather wet and windy winter the cottage was lovely and warm with a comfy sofa and fast wifi so all good! Plus was lovely to see the farm animals, a couple of sheep right out the back when we were there, as well as ducks, geese and chickens having a wander around from time to time.
