Perfect location is an understatement, we never had to walk further than 10 mins from the front door to our destinations, and usually more like 5 minutes, and the property has parking! The cottage itself is amazingly decorated with everything you could need for a comfortable and cosy stay, and the garden is perfect for dogs as it has high walls. Sunetra left us a few provisions and treats for making breakfast as well which was a lovely extra touch and much appreciated! The beds are a little firm and I’d recommend replacing the astroturf with real grass, but those are pretty minor, and we really loved the place; we would be more than happy to stay again! ##### Emma C.
