“Not dog friendly”
We had a lovely stay only to be ruined by the owners obsession with a few dog hairs even though I hoovered upstairs and down before we left. Having been advised to used the back/downstairs door for ac… More

Response from the owner We warmly welcome responsible dog owners to bring their dogs at no extra charge. In return, we kindly ask our guests to clean up after their dogs and to respect the agreed-upon dog boundaries outlined during booking. We are pleased that 99% of our guests adhere to these guidelines, ensuring a positive experience for everyone, including their dogs and ourselves. However, on rare occasions over our 6 years of hosting, we have had to deduct from the damage/housekeeping deposit due to specific incidents.In this case, stained and dog hair-embedded bed linen required replacement and deep cleaning of the bedrooms for subsequent guests' comfort. Additionally, a door mat covered in faecal matter, which had been turned over instead of cleaned or disposed of, necessitated replacement. Although minor, damage to a coaster highlighted a general disrespect for the property. In cases such as this, while guests have left positive reviews upon departure, we've unfortunately received negative online feedback after notifying them of the deduction from their deposit. We remain committed to providing a pleasant and respectful environment for all our guests and their furry friends.

“Fantastic accommodation”
What a lovely cottage. Fully equipped, with even more than expected. Very comfortable lounge, even had games and books available. Kitchen so well equipped, loved that 4 legged visitors are also thought of with feeding bowls and towels incase you forget to bring these. Main bedroom beautifully decorated in rich colours. Lovely pub a short drive or a 15/20 minute walk (dog likes to sniff everything). Stunning scenery. Beds very comfortable. Bathroom has a walk in shower and a bath - great to have both. Overall, an excellent stay.
