Lovely cottage in good location. Hampton pier and Canoe Wild made great trips out. There’s a main road nearby which gives a steady hum, but pretty location. Cottage joined to Elm next door so bit close to neighbours! Nice Prosecco and dog treat on arrival. Sofa bed is not comfortable - would not recommend booking if you need to use. Stairs are steep to upstairs bedroom. Beautiful sunsets looking back at cottage. Sort of dog for friendly - small grass field outside cottage but not enclosed and need to be on lead. Dogs can’t be left alone either. Dogs not allowed upstairs or on sofa. Laminate floor can be slippy for older dogs. Pebble garden too, grass would be better.
