Lovely property. The only downside was the shower over the bath . Maybe consider a walk in shower 🚿.Apart from that we would definitely consider going back again .

The cottage is very basic, although we were aware it was pet friendly, (we did not have a dog with us) there was a very strong dog smell as soon as you entered the ground floor. The welcome pack said it all ( a pint of milk, 5 shortbread biscuits and tea/ coffee in containers) . The sofa was very hard and subsequently not very comfortable to sit on. The TV signal is intermittent. The bathroom is very small and could benefit from an update. With a few touches it could be very nice, but we would not rebook.
