    “Lovely stay.”

    Perfect base with access to lots of walks. Lots of wildlife to see in the centre and the most beautiful view. Bedrooms were big, clean and comfortable. Overall cottage needs a bit of updating and a few comforts wouldn't go a miss. Still some basic kitchen equipment missing such as an oven tray, dish sponge and bin bags but we managed. It wasn't too much of a problem as dogs were always on leads but for a pet friendly cottage it's not obvious that the garden area is open and not secure.
