Lots of nice little touches which made it feel like home and the wine and cake was much appreciated. Off road parking was a real bonus. We would definitely come back.

Clean, modern and well equipped, it had everything we needed, making our stay so enjoyable. Bath and shower were excellent. The king-size bed was so comfortable. Thank you for all the nice goodies, a lovely surprise. Also the treats and bedding for our dog were much appreciated. A delightful 'doggie' cottage. We hope to return. Thank you both.
