My dog Polly and I had a very comfortable stay. It was very different to anywhere else I have stayed in the past. If you like to stay in accommodation that leaves you constantly finding different little curiosities then this is your cottage. It had everything you would need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. I especially liked the unique little garden, as did Polly who spent a lot of time investigating (sniffing) her way around the plants and the flower pot man.

Slept well, and only bumped my head on the very low doorway into the bedroom twice. Had everthing I needed, Wi-Fi worked ok, though I did not try streaming. Weather was cool overnight but the property was always at a comfortable temperature.
