Brilliant location and facilities, the cottage was immaculate and owners very friendly and helpful. Fully enclosed garden, fantastic for my very inquisitive German Shepherd dog to sniff around in. A short 20 minute walk into the village easily managed. 2 Highland cows in the field adjoining the garden amused my daughters. Will be back next year.
