On arrival we were met by the family and made to feel welcome and they gave us good information on the local shops pubs and local attractions inside there where lots of brochures on the surrounding areas are there attractions. In the cottage it had every thing that was needed just like home there was even a separate laundry room if you wished to use it there was also a patio area around the back with table and chairs which was great for us with having two big dogs and you can also walk them around the gardens and fields owned by the family.
