We spent a lovely relaxing week in Blakesley Cottage, such a peaceful location and attractive, well maintained grounds for our dog to enjoy. Fiona & Mark are exceptionally welcoming and kind owners, they had gone to every trouble with so many thoughtful details to create a real home from home. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, masses of sRead moretorage space, and a generous welcome pack, as well as being a perfect base from which to explore the island. Thank you so much, we will be returning! Hide

This is a super cottage, well placed for exploring the island with several walks directly from the property. It's lovingly equipped with everything carefully chosen and good quality. The grounds are extensive and shared, so it was not possible to leave the door open to allow the dog to rest up outside unsupervised, as he would at home, but they areRead more delightful for exploring together with the dog. Very welcoming and helpful owners. We would happily recommend for a peaceful break. Hide
