Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make us feel at home . The cottage is beautiful and full of everything , there is no need to take anything with you apart from yr own food . Although there were dog treats, wine, biscuits and a whole lot more for us on arrival . The area is beautiful and our dog Rocco loved it . Would definitely go back there if we were in the area . Thankyou for a fabulous stay .
