Nice little outdoor area. There were a few minor issues as with any holiday let. Owners were very helpful before we arrived but once there any questions had to go to the caretaker who then asked the owner. The owners live on site but we didn’t see them at all. Maybe away? Our biggest problem was with taking our dog. She’ll only toilet off the lead, on grass. There is no grass by the cottage. Taking her through the owners paddock (on lead due to ponies and sheep which we knew about) and through the kissing gate as instructed, leads you to fields all surrounded by electric wire (which we found out the hard way as no signs). The only public footpath from this direction has a stile with no dog access. Going uphill from the kissing gate the public footpath had been blocked off with an electric fence. On asking the caretaker (who asked the owner) we were told that dogs can get through the stile but we checked and there wasn’t a dog gate. On the last morning we walked out the gate you drive in through and there are two public footpaths there. They are much more accessible for dogs. Had a lovely time and brilliant if you don’t have a dog, it was all just a bit annoying trying to work out where we could walk her. Would stay again with no dog. ##### Elaine Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > - [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > - [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > - [Angel Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Tiverton-Hotels-Angel-Guest-House.h4638914.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Preston-Hotels-Macdonald-Tickled-Trout-Hotel.h19091.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandford House Hotel by Wetherspoon ](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntingdon-Hotels-Sandford-House-Hotel-By-Wetherspoon.h49136820.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dronfield-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h4780993.Hotel-Information) > - [Tottington Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Henfield-Hotels-Tottington-Manor.h33668731.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > - [Canon Gate , Chichester Cathedral - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Chichester-Hotels-Canon-Gate.h38253931.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > - [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > - [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grey Bull B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Haltwhistle-Hotels-The-Grey-Bull-B-B.h15272668.Hotel-Information) > - [Manor House Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Haltwhistle-Hotels-Manor-House-Inn.h57378043.Hotel-Information) > - [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > - [Newmarket Boutique Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Newmarket-Hotels-Newmarket-Boutique-Apartments.h3522773.Hotel-Information) > - [Little Fig, Aldeburgh, Suffolk](https://www.expedia.ca/Aldeburgh-Hotels-Little-Fig.h105367559.Hotel-Information) > - [Oxford Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Kidlington-Hotels-Oxford-Bed-And-Breakfast.h27280167.Hotel-Information) > - [Sail Loft](https://www.expedia.ca/Yarmouth-Hotels-Sail-Loft.h30995852.Hotel-Information) > - [The Trout](https://www.expedia.ca/Cockermouth-Hotels-The-Trout.h11899282.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blue Boar - Maldon](https://www.expedia.ca/Maldon-Hotels-The-Blue-Boar-Maldon.h103710681.Hotel-Information) > - [Wisteria House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Chippenham-Hotels-Wisteria-House-BB.h53797442.Hotel-Information) > - [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > - [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burnham-On-Sea-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h5188308.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lindisfarne Inn - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.ca/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-The-Lindisfarne-Inn.h28969020.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information)
