Would I return? YES
Would I recommend to family and friends? YES
I loved my short stay at the cottage with my pups. Perks were:
* the remote location - the babbling brook at the end of the garden was the most peaceful sound. Just wish I was able to enjoy the garden more, but visiting in winter meant my time at the property was spent indoors. Which leads me to:
* log burning fireplace - with the addition of the starter logs to get you going. It made the cottage so cosy and warm.
* basket of doggy things - blankets, towels and treats, which were a welcome addition.
* secure garden - although the owner does state it is not 100% secure, my small pugs did fine and were safe the whole time.
Things to consider:
* the bathroom is very small. Advert indicates a shower room but not so much the size. Anyone over 5'10" might struggle to sit on the toilet without bashing knees on the opposite wall! For a short stay, it was perfectly acceptable.
* no welcome package - despite there being a picture on the listing of a bottle of Cava and some treats to welcome you on your stay, there was nothing in the cottage on arrival.
* no kitchen pantry essentials - the kitchen was kitted out with all the equipment needed for cooking and eating, however there was not a single pantry item, like tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt, pepper etc. I wouldn't have minded there not being these things if it was made apparent in the listing, but future renters be mindful to bring these things with you.
