Very helpful friendly and hospitable hosts. However, no stove top means cooking quite difficult. A previous guest had used the kettle to boil pasta!! Very small so really needs reclining chairs to have feet up. Not comfortable. Very good for a weekend short stay but a week is too cramped. No broom etc to clear up so using wipes on hands and knees bit annoying so we left after a weekend when booked a week. The TV could do with a longer arm so could be used in the bedroom which would help with comfort.

Spent a lovely week in Dove Cottage, the host Susan was very informative and gave us lots of info on walks, places togo walking etc. Also Susan left us some tasty snacks, milk tea biscuits and treats for our dog. The cottage was clean and cozy, the bed so comfy i struggled to get out each day! We had beautiful sunny weather, so only used the log burner on one chilly afternoon. We found plenty of walks straight from the cottage and also in the car. There is a little shop, bakery and wonderfull Indian Restaurant a short walk away. Perfect week for us would highly reccomend and will be booking for next year 😊
