A beautiful cottage with absolutely everything we needed including items for the dog. The garden was fantastic and is a huge space for exploring as well as relaxing. We loved the peaceful location and how close the towns and beaches were. Maureen was a fabulous host who was friendly and chatty. She left us the most generous welcome items which was so thoughtful. The cottage was spotlessly clean. We will definitely go back here and have already recommended it to my pet owner friends.
