!! The kids and dog have spent so much time exploring and in the river, even the rain didn't stop us enjoying the garden - plenty of seating areas. The garden is not accessible directly from the cottage, you go through the owners gate at end of drive (there is a small patio attached to cottage) however it is fully enclosed for the dog and kids to fully enjoy, there is also an outdoor toilet in the garden so no need to too and fro to the house, just pack up snacks and towels and all the time can be spent in garden. The owners are lovely and so helpful, leaving us snacks in cottage and bringing more down one evening we were in garden. The owners dogs are kept seperate and the owners were not intrusive at all just left us to enjoy their amazing space. We will definitely be back!
