The enclosed patio was ideal for the dogs, as were the two footpaths from the rear of the property. Lovely to sit with only the noise of birds and sheep, no road noise. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. An added bonus, there were no spiders or webs. I often find in cottages this is something that is overlooked, but the cleaner has obviously took the trouble to look up. Ideal position for many local attractions and walks.

The kitchen had every utensil you could want. The BBQ was brilliant. The shower was good with good water pressure. The only thing missing really was a whisky glass i had to drink from a tumbler which to be fair meant i could drink more. Location was wonderful and for us having a safe dog field close was a real bonus. Thank you!

The owner very kindly left a bottle of wine which was much appreciated. The only criticism that we could find was the downstairs was a little damp and probably needed a small heater in the bedroom to remove. I would definitely recommend the property.
