Miss Thorpe
We enjoyed a 5 night stay at the cottage whilst trying to avoid chaotic firework season where we live with our 3 dogs. We appreciated how dog friendly the property was, with all the dog equipment such as water bowls, towels, a mud daddy available to use. A rarity, especially for the number and size of dogs we have (2 over 30kg). The property is beautiful and very well equipped. With most kitchen utensils you could need and a delightful welcome basket for arrival as a lovely extra touch. It was nice to wake up to the cows moo'ing on a morning and if it were a bit warmer I would have probably sat outside in the garden area. There are many areas to walk around the property which would be very enjoyable in the summer months.
