Had a lovely stay. The owners were very pleasant and helpful.The stairs with our small dog was not so good but plenty of nice walks on the land. The cottage was warm and pleasant.

We had a lovely time with our dog here and the grounds and accommodations are amazing. We didn’t talk to the owners at all. It wasn’t a problem to us as we travelled however you need to be prepared it is rural
Very good
