Loved the artwork,and the bed was really comfortable. Kitchen a little cramped and lacking in cupboard space, but otherwise everything was fine. The welcome box and dog treats were also appreciated. And if course the location was ideal for dog walking!

A lovely welcome pack and we were also pleased with the secure outside space so we could leave doors open without worrying about our dog getting out. Powfoot is a lovely village and is a perfect base for exploring nearby locations with the added bonus of a beach just round the corner from the cottage.
