Cottage was very clean and comfortable, owners were helpful, the paddock for the dog was great and used a lot. The only downside was the nearly 2 mile single track lane to get to the property, if it had been in any of the reviews we probably wouldnt have booked it as we met several vehicles over the week and had to reverse a lot. The local pub woulRead morednt allow dogs inside the pub so we had to travel further afield to find dog friendly pubs. Overall we had a good week and the weather was great. Hide

A beautiful cosy cottage, clean and well equipped in a great location for surrounding towns and beaches. Fabulous views across the landscape and alpaca and goats in the adjacent field. The enclosed garden complete with patio set was fantastic for our dog as was the on-site HUGE fully enclosed paws paddock which was great for his morning and eveninRead moreg runs. Lots of parking. Hosts were so welcoming and allowed us to feed their pet alpaca, goats and chickens. Hide
