A fantastic cottage in a lovely rural location.

A fantastic cottage in a lovely rural location. Secure garden so my dogs could run freely. Small dogs however will get through fence to sheep field. Lovely spacious hot tub. Underfloor heating kept the cottage toasty warm. Lots of kitchen equipment to cook in, spacious fridge / freezer for supplies, Tesco do deliver here. Overall a perfect place to unwind from a busy lifestyle.
