I can’t praise Tilly’s enough! Drew was extremely helpful and informative, providing local dog friendly pubs and in-depth tutorials on how to work the hot tub and fire. The location is perfect and the cottage itself is stunning. It was the perfect accommodation for a lovely weekend getaway, the cottage itself has a lovely open space dining/lounge and kitchen area for everyone and your pets to spend time together. My friends and I have already expressed a desire to go back and I have no doubly we will likely make many visits in the future.

A wonderful cottage, lots of space yet still cosy. The view from the decking was a bonus. I would definitely recommend this property!
