May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Cottage This was a fantastic cottage with all the mod cons and incredibly clean, lovely beds and towels and biscuits and milk left for us also.We did think there would be a back garden with grass as we had taken our little dog with us but there was'nt. My husband did find a very large field with right of way about 2 mins walk away so little dog loved it so not so much of a problem. ##### Jennifer B.
