Solo traveller with my dog. Couldnt find fault - comfortable and catered for all our needs. Had some work to do and enjoyed the view from my "office" at the dining room table. Jo sent out an itinerary of recommended walks and did them all, the Flookburgh/Cark coastal one twice (prefer it the other way round). Its a lovely base to explore some stunning surroundings from the door step. Recommend this lovely cottage with bells on. I'd certainly book again. Thank you :-)

Nicely situated property with parking on the street, and usually got a space outside the front door. Only disadvantage was that any walks for the dog, from the property had to be on the lead, due to roads or local restrictions, but there where nice off the lead within 2 miles. Would recommend the cottage to others.
