Excellent cottage in a perfect location. The kitchen was equipped and everywhere was clean and tidy upon arrival. Liz the owner came to say hello when we arrived and told us to contact her if we had any problems. The dogs loved all of the long walks we had during the day and had great fun running around the secure garden. Comfy garden chairs are provided and we spent a lot of time sitting in the garden viewing the sheep and extended countryside. We will definitely be visiting here again as it’s only an hour and 15 minutes away from where we live!
