Light the open fire in here on cooler days and settle down to play a game or watch the Smart TV. Gather for lively meals and celebrations at the table in the kitchen/diner or eat out in the sunshine with your happy hound close by. When you are ready to turn in for the night, give your furry friend a last scratch of the ears and make your way off to bed. The bedrooms at this cottage include two doubles and a single, served by the well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, let your paw-some pal roam free in the garden, where there is also plenty of space for children to play.
