    The beds were the comfiest we’d ever stayed in , the cottage was fully stocked with tea, coffee , biscuits, milk , flowers and even fresh free range eggs ! Kitchen had everything needed possible . The bathrooms had all the toiletries needed ! Our dogs were welcome everywhere in the home , and blankets provided for their comfort . There was even a vacuum cleaner ! Which is a delight with pets . The owners had thought of everything, even maps and guide books of the area. There are absolutely no negatives with this stay , it went over and above anything we had hoped , and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone , who’s looking for the most comfortable of stays , with the furry friends highly welcome, with no limitations-a absolute delight . A huge amount of thought and care has been put into this property by the owners , and it was a very pleasant surprise to have all the added extras . Highly recommend.
