I would recommend this cottage.
I would recommend this cottage. We had a lovely week here. We took our little dog as the ad said dogs go free. On arrival there was a lovely bag of biscuits, 2dog bowls a blanket and poo bags which we didn’t expect. But there was also a note saying that there was a £10 charge for the dog. We didn’t use the biscuits are our dog is fussy. I left the £10 in the jar with the biscuits. This was a little disappointing, but it didn’t spoil our holiday. And would certainly go again.
