Couldn’t have asked for a nicer cottage. We were greeted with local beer and Bakewell pudding as a welcome gift which was very much appreciated. The cottage was extremely well presented, clean and well equipped. Enclosed garden area was brilliant for our elderly dogs. Overall excellent will definitely return.
