Lisa has literally thought of everything. The cottage is stunning, immaculate and so well put together and stylish and garden is secure for dogs. The thought that has gone into making the dogs welcome too is so cute. Thereâs a basket with everything from treats to beds. The space is brilliant and everything is quality and everything works which I know should be normal but quite often isnât the case. The other bonus is that you are literally next door to a great pub with a lovely family running it . Itâs dog friendly and a great atmosphere. So in summary, you will not be disappointed. So good weâve booked again for January 2025 Thank you , we loved it The woods, The Walkers, Freya, Elsa and Holly (the spaniels)

It was squeaky clean and Lisa very kindly left a welcome gift or two, and even a lovely welcome basket for our dog. You can clearly tell that Lisa pours her heart and soul into this gorgeous home. It is tastefully decorated, super comfortable and the beds, bed linens and towels are of a high quality. We absolutely loved our break here.

We really enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the welcome text the day before from the owner.
