We booked this cottage with my 8 month old, Labrador puppy in mind and it was perfect. He's pretty well behaved but I wanted hard floors, not too many things that could be stolen and chewed and a secure garden. It was everything I wished for. In addition the bedroom was comfortable and the shower hot and powerful. We were all happy! I think only two negatives, the TV is old, it's not a smart TV and doesn't have a HDMI connection. Not wanting to be out late with the pup, it was a bit disappointing not to be able to catch up on some TV. The second point is not really a negative unless you were next door to us... there is gravel outside and every time someone went past (which seemed to happen frequently in the late evening) it disturbed the pup and triggered some barking, so if you have a dog that's sensitive to noise, that might be a draw back but for us it just showed my training is lacking! Thankfully our neighbours were very understanding and tolerant.
