Loft bedroom lacks headroom to manoeuvre. Patio is not private, and owners dogs run free in the garden, pouncing and barking at my dogs. Dog excrement on the ground especially where car parking is provided. I did not want to sit out on the non private patio to be constantly passed by owners dogs or guests from the b and b.

We absolutely loved this. If you want to get away this is ideal. At the end of a rough road, no through traffic. Plenty of walks which I found perfect. Love a good walk! The garden was a wonder. Two acres of fabulous planting. A mini arboretum! Eileen, the owner, was hospitable and very friendly. I would go back tomorrow if I could. Thanks Eileen.

The property was in a great and peaceful location. The dogs loved the huge and dog friendly garden. Personally I found it a little too far to walk into the village and back up to the cottage again.
