The owners had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable- we loved the cream tea and fudge when we arrived! The cottage has so many little thoughtful extras, such as lovely toiletries in the bathrooms, and a doggy goody bag, it meant that we didnât immediately have to rush to the supermarket. The cottage was beautifully decorated, warm, well stocked, and clean. The beds were so comfortable we wanted to take them home! Everything was top notch, wi - fi was very good, location very peaceful in a wooded area, great garden for the dog, and to sit out in if weather permitted. The only slight downsides for us were that phone reception was bad due to being surrounded by large trees, but we could communicate through the wi-fi, so not too bad. Also the courtyard area to the front of the property seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation, with no noise, but some properties with scaffolding etc. , and the small bridge at the entrance to the courtyard has to be driven over very carefully. When completed, we are quite sure that the improvements will enhance the property, if the house is anything to go by. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and we would very happily return!
