The view from the cottage is stunning. So many nice thoughtful touches. I had 2 dogs with me that needed to go on lead outside as there isn't a private enclosed garden but along the track and a short distance down a very quiet road was a lovely walk through the woods. A little waterproof shelter or box outside the door for muddy boots would have been appreciated. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful stay.
