Booked a five night stay for our wedding anniversary with our two dogs - absolutely beautiful cottage! Really well thought out and decorated, everything we needed was there. Warm, clean, quiet. Enclosed area for the dogs. Detailed welcome pack as well as tea/sugar/coffee, eggs, milk, wine and shortbread to get us going. Absolutely perfect!
