My only criticism would be the parking, the only places to park are a little walk away which was difficult in the rain with a car full of things for a week at Christmas.

They had great facilities for children however it is listed on another site as no children allowed which is strange. Access can be difficult with no parking outside for loading and unloading but we managed. Lovely Park a short walk away.

This is an old cottage with all modern amenities and ideal for a stay with your dogs as the gardens are fully secure. It's warm, clean and the beds are very comfortable. The sofa is fine but could be comfier if you like sitting down a lot. There's everything you need in the kitchen for a holiday and plenty of room in the cottage for everyone. We will be back when staying in the area again
