From the welcoming entrance of this characterful cottage, head to the downstairs lounge, which features a gorgeous, exposed-brickwork fireplace, wood burner, and stunning beamed ceiling, setting the scene for a relaxing and sociable holiday. Unwind on the plush sofas for afternoon tea while your pups make a beeline for the spot in front of the wood burner.
