Really friendly owners who know their area well. An excellent cosy cottage with lovely dog walking from the door. The dogs really enjoyed getting to know the horses and sheep while having the whole fields to play in. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has an enormous bath and a separate shower room. Good parking. It was really relaxing.
