    “We had a lovely stay at this cottage and the dogs loved the paddock for a good run around.”

    Everything was superb about the location and the the cottage itself very comfortable and warm and cosy. We had some very cold nights but once you lit the gas fire burner in the sitting room you were soon snug. The only downsides was lack of plugs downstairs to charge phones etc you had none as all of them had something in them lights or torches on charge etc and the terrible air leaks in the water system you had to put on the shower tap nothing would come out so you would then run the basin ...

    Everything was superb about the location and the the cottage itself very comfortable and warm and cosy. We had some very cold nights but once you lit the gas fire burner in the sitting room you were soon snug. The only downsides was lack of plugs downstairs to charge phones etc you had none as all of them had something in them lights or torches on charge etc and the terrible air leaks in the water system you had to put on the shower tap nothing would come out so you would then run the basin and it soon flowed. It was a knack and we soon got used to it. But otherwise a fantastic place and would return again.
