Me, my partner and our dog had such a lovely stay at Greystones Cottage. We genuinely didn't want to leave.The garden isn't directly outside the back door; however, we loved this as it really adds to the quirkiness and character of how the buildings were built back then.Inside, the cottage was comfortable and cosy, with plenty of options for heating during cooler weather, but also plenty of windows to keep it cool when needed. It was clean, well equipped, and had everything we needed for our stay. We could easily have stayed for another week.Our dog enjoyed her holiday too. She isn't great with other dogs, but we only came across two during the entire week in the village. We ventured out most days anyway, and found the area perfect for a relaxing break with a dog.There are two pubs nearby serving food and drinks. One is in the main village and has a lovely beer garden right by the river, while the other is a little further down the road and also enjoys a beautiful riverside setting. Both had their own unique character and were equally welcoming and full of charm.The Wi-Fi was excellent, actually faster than what we get at home. Whether you need to work remotely or have children who like to stream, you shouldn't have any issues.Rebecca, the host and owner, was amazing. Communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us fully informed about some local building maintenance that was due to take place during our stay. We were given plenty of notice, and in the end the work had no impact whatsoever on our holiday. The cottage's location was perfect: quiet, relaxing, and full of charm and character. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We're already planning to return next year and can't wait to come back.
