It has been an experience we would love to repeat, totally secluded and very relaxing. Our two fur babies have enjoyed the wilderness also. The cottage is very comfortable, cosy and well equipped with a lovely ambience. The hamper on arrival was a very welcome touch which included doggie treats. Jerry made us feel very welcome and was always on hand when we needed any assistance. His knowledge of the cottage and local area added to our experience. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
