Wonderful

delighted to find the cottage is on an organic farm. Very quiet and relaxing. My fussy dog settled straight in. Friendly hosts, who live on site, making me feel very secure. America woods is a wonderful walk, just follow the footpath a few yards up the road. The entrance was a little tricky, as it is a farm track between two houses, but that just adds to the feeling of seclusion.

we injoyed the time we spent there, the only thing that put us of was that we could only excise the dog around the perimitor of the field, which we found very hard to walk round, due to very uneven ground. so if you have trouble walking this is not the cottage for you and your dog.
