Well furnished, with a real homely feel and decorated beautifully - just perfect for our Christmas get away. The views from the windows looked out onto fields and although on a busy road, it was private and well protected. The outside bath is a great gimmick - perfect for a Boxing Day dip! (The cold temperature did not deter the children who enjoyed it). The bedâs are really comfy and the pillows were great (no cricks in our necks or doubling up to make it more comfy). Proper fluffy towels to wrap yourself up with after a shower - which is out of this world - were the cherry on top! We were worried that with it being a dog friendly cottage and not being dog owners that there would be a âdog smellâ - but no! Did not even find a sly dog hair as the standard of cleaning was exceptional, and reading the visitors book, we were in the minority as most people had dogs! Over all a fabulous cottage - one which is on our list to return to, so we can explore more of the area (and have an outdoor bath again).
