The cottage is dog-friendly, adding to its charm.
Reviews consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean and well-maintained. One review noted a 'doggy smell' from previous pet visitors, but this seems an isolated comment rather than a common concern.

Very cosy, easy to find and handy for the local amenities. We decided to park in a nearby road as access for our car was tight! But not a problem! Lots of local information was provided if required. Highly recommended!

It is an absolutely charming cottage, in a quiet village location - the only sounds were the birds. Picture perfect from the outside and inside, it was cosy, with modern, high quality furnishings. The log burner, with the snow outside, was an absolute treat. A wonderful cottage to relax and recharge in. The dog friendly garden, walks around the village and a vast array of walks in the surrounding area, rounded off our stay. So much so, we are already booked to go back.
