It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Really suitable for our dogs too. Would definitely come again :)

Parking wasnât an issue, we had to park a little far away once in 6 days which isnât bad at all. All in all a lovely cottage. The only downsides for us (and they are minor, it wouldnât put us off staying again) weâre- the Wi-Fi isnât very good, so whilst you say thereâs a smart tv with Netflix etc. the WiFi isnât strong enough for anything other than terrestrial channels to work. There are cobwebs in the alcoves in the living room, the yard could be nicer in that itâs just slate with a table and chairs etc, it might be difficult to maintain pots etc. but weâd have spent more time outside if it was nicer/greener out there. The slate also wasnât very nice for the dogs feet (although she can be dramatic so itâs not necessarily the same for other dogs).
