He went out of his way to make sure the property was ready for us with less than 24 hours notice. We loved Laurel Cottage and canât wait to go back. Itâs a beautiful cottage, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The large secure garden was perfect for our dogs and they loved the cosy under floor heating. Everything you could ask for including a lovely welcome pack. Fiona and John

Thoughtful welcome pack provided and Gary, the owner is very helpful, had a little problem with the key safe. The garden is enclosed and very safe for dogs. Good situation with easy access to many places of interest.
