The cottage was excellent with the added bonus of the secure paddock for the dogs. Lovely owners provided a welcome hamper including a bottle of wine which was very much appreciated. They also provided basic kitchen items eg. dish washer tablets, clothes wash, washing up liquid, foil, bin liners and toilet roll. Excellent stay.
