Willow Cottage was absolutely perfect for our short stay with our 2 dogs. The lovely secluded garden was an absolute bonus and the host made us all feel so very welcome indeed with many home comforts and thoughtful extras like a welcome pack, games, books etc. Would def come back again another time!!

Nicely situated and owners left a very thoughtful welcome package. Everything is clean and tidy and the garden is lovely if the weather permits! The log fire is a great addition, especially as was rather unseasonably cold the week of our stay. Very comfortable bed. Also, fantastic homemade cakes in the store just next door - a lovely bonus.

We had the most amazing week, the cottage was just what we wanted - comfortable and well-equipped. It was advertised as dog-friendly and it certainly was, the owner even leaving us a roll of dog poo bags, some treats and bowls and supplying some lovely towels for the dogs too.

Was greeted by the lovely host who took me to the cottage and showed me around. She had filled the kitchen with essentials so there was no need to go shopping straightaway which was a lovely touch. As I dont drive I did have to rely on the buses to get around, but they were reliable and the drivers were very helpful. The weather was lovely and warmRead more, allowing me to spend most afternoons on the terrace and enjoying the quiet. Perfect little getaway location and will definitely be returning. Hide

Hi, cottage was wonderful, only comment would be bit awkward when the heating is controlled by the flat upstairs, if they go out the heating goes off - there is a wood burning fire place but we did not really want to use this and also would not heat the bedroom/bathroom.
