For dog owners in particular. There is no direct access from the property into the enclosed garden. You have to go out of the front door and walk to the rear of the property to your secure garden.

A lovely cottage in good location with great views. There were a few issues but nothing that spoilt the holiday and could be easily rectified. Not much cupboard space to put food as all full with crockery and cooking utensils. A lovely place to stay. Quiet and a good position.
