"We had a lovely weekend break at the cottage."
It is situated in a beautiful rural area and the cottage has everything you need to be comfortable. It is very dog friendly , our two girls soon settled and had their own little doggy holiday. This is our second visit and would love to come again.

"A really lovely cottage in very restful surroundings."
We had everything we needed in the kitchen to be able to prepare our own food. I have a bad back but thankfully found the beds were very comfortable and cozy. Our golden retriever enjoyed exploring and rolling around his extra space secure in the gardens, which was one of our main reasons for choosing where to stay. Highly recommend and would absolutely return in future. Thank you again for your welcome and hospitality
Well thank you so much for such a glowing review. Your very welcome in Bolton.

"Firstly, we feel that the property description and the images of the rear garden are not a true representation and are very misleading."
We note that the property states that it is enclosed and we do not dispute this, however, upon arriving we asked the owners in person whether the garden at the rear was secure to which they replied "yes it's fully fenced but there's a low wall on one side and there are lambs in the field and the famers isn't very great". Prior to letting our two dogs out of the car we checked out the back garden to learn that in parts the boundary wall adjoining the farmers field was actually lower than knee high in parts. This is in no way safe and secure no matter how well behaved or under control a dog is. Our dogs are very well behaved, however, given the farmer 'wasn't great' we did not want to risk one of the dogs jumping over the low wall and into the field. We believe this would be the view of any responsible dog owner. The images shown on the advert online only show the garden where the wall is high, they do not show where it is extremely low and we feel that this misleading and unfair. Secondly, no where on the advert did it state that the owners live directly next door. We booked the stay to relax and spend time outdoors with our dogs and not have to worry about the lack privacy or the risk of our dogs getting out of the garden. Again, on the advert it fails to show that the 'fence' between the two properties does not give any privacy at all. We feel that this should be shown on the advert to enable the person booking to make their own decision on whether they would be happy with the lack of privacy. Due to these reasons, we vacated the property at around 6:00pm on the same day and returned home.

"We have just returned from a fabulous break in Bolton."
This property is amazing, it is so cozy and welcoming. The place is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. There was a great welcoming pack of wine, chocolates, eggs, milk and delicious homemade shortbread. We were also provided with logs and coal for the fire. The property had been beautifully decorated for christmas. We have stayed in a lot of cottages over the years and this was by far the most comfortable and well thought out of the lot! It is an absolute home from home, i cant praise it enough. We always find there is something we have forgotten and have to nip out to the shops to buy it, salt, pepper, washing up liquid etc. I managed to bring everything this year and there was no need. It was all in the cottage. Brilliant! We intended to go out on New Years Day but instead cuddled up in front of the fire, it is such a comfortable place. Book it! Audrey, John and our wee dog Jazz x
That feedback makes running the cottage so worthhile. Thank you for such kind words. Bill and Sue Ingham
