Lovely cottage and a gorgeous garden.owner was very nice and helpful.everything we needed in the cottage and some welcome gifts very much appreciated. My only negative is the cost to take dogs,I have 2 small dogs and for a 3 night stay I paid £40 each dog.i would love to go back but can't afford to pay that every time .cottages that we go to every year and others dogs are normally free.
