Clean and comfortable. Fenced area ideal for having a free run area for dog's. Right by the river and 2 reserves nearby for walking. Quiet and private.

"We had a great stay, dogs loved it and we’ll be happy to come back."

9.0

Great location, 10 min drive from good pubs and cafes. Good places within walking distance to exercise the dogs. Great fenced outside area and next to swimmable river. Well-equipped kitchen and comfy bed.

It was cold in the morning as it took a while for the sun to edge over the hill tops and reach the house. (but good heat pump kept cottage warm!)

8.0

The peaceful, private surroundings and the river running close by.

The shower was a little temperamental, running mostly too hot or too cold.
