Perfect location for walks, lovely dark skies , lane very uneven, bright torch needed for night dog walks. Very comfortable though beds could have been better. Very clean, but basic, brochure containing details of boiler, tv etc would have been useful. Smart tv Very tempremental Needs outside lights that work, downstairs shower head not working. Having said all that we will certainly return as dog friendly garden, and ideal for forest and seaside locations.

Comfortable cottage in good location.Excellent enclosed rear garden, ideal for doggie visitors. Vehicle access to shared parking courtyard distinctly awkward, down a steep ramp at right angles to narrow shared access lane. No equipment instructions whatsoever, and thst includes TV, and no information on refuse arrangements or local amenities. No visitors book.
