We loved it so much we booked another night. Thank you to the owner. The cottage has every thing. Dish washer and a washer was a massive bonus. Very peaceful area. Parking wasnât an issue. Thereâs two at the front and 4 at the side of the property. Very clean and welcoming. Itâs on a step hill but itâs only a few seconds till youâre off it. A garden for our dog was perfect. Itâs much bigger than we thought. New kitchen. Short walk in to Salcome which was paradise. Shop which we only discovered as we left two streets up (Spar). So itâs easier to nip there than walk or drive to the co-op. 5 min walk down to the village. Lovely pubs and an amazing pizza place. All dog friendly. We will defiantly be back. We didnât want to leave. Thank you.
