Absolute perfect place to stay if you’re looking for scenic, dog friendly, picture perfect accommodation. Chocolate box cottage that’s well equipped. The host has thought of everything and provided us with a lush luxury hamper that was incredibly welcome after a 4 hour drive. Pubs and coop in walking distance. Lovely country walks. Definitely recommend and came away completely re-charged… x
