Fabulous holiday cottage in a great location. We took our 4 month old puppy and had plenty of room for his crate and pen. The accommodation was spotlessly clean on arrival and was very well equipped. The gardens are beautiful and the views from the fields at the back are stunning. Its such a peaceful location. Dog friendly beaches are within easy rRead moreeach, as are supermarkets and decent pubs. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend to others and use again. Perfect!

Absolutely stunning - location, accommodation and the hosts! It was so lovely knowing we could open the door and not worry about where Lucy was wandering off to! Extremely dog friendly. The accommodation was stunning and felt like our home away from home. A real huge thank you for such a perfect break in a little piece of heaven!
