  • "I would recommend making the front 'garden' more friendly to dogs, the stones are not suitable."

    Shower very small. Too many instruction signs.

    Hello. The front area's of the cottage are set up for ease of maintenance . It's more than fair to say with regards to been dog friendly, you did have the freedom of over an acre of field for the dog on the door step. As for the shower it's a standard size. Not sure about the sign's complaint. Thank you for for taken the time to wright your feed back, it helps us going forward. Property Owner
