This was a lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden was a lovely size with a patio and furniture. The cottage itself was comfortable and warm. The sofa was a little uncomfortable but decent. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was good. The hot water was really hot. Towels were included by they were quite small, glad we took our own. There was a good supply of DVDs, toys and games and books. The dog shower came in handy too.The owners were really lovely and friendly. Overall, a really nice holiday home and wouldn't be surprised if we end up booking again.
