I was looking for a weekend away and saw this cottage, it ticked all the boxes for us having 2 dogs. We arrived early, walked the dogs in the park opposite and had a drink in the Queens while it was ready, the landlady came to the pub with the key, very nice lady. Thanks for the carrot cake & milk and there was plenty of tea bags, something you never find, you're lucky if they leave you 4. Unfortunately the weather made it impossible to visit the local attractions we had torrential rain, snow & hail, making the garden & the park a mud-bath. I had dog towels laid out from back door to front room and was constantly wiping their feet. There's plenty of dvd's to watch. Having 2 big dog beds in the tiny kitchen, took all the room, we had to evict them every morning just to move around. I knew about the fire not being real, shame my staffy kept nudging me and nudging the fire, 'mum put the fire on' sorry sweets its not real....ahhh.
We would love to book again next year in the better weather, so we can enjoy the area. There's 3 pubs in a little triangle, the bulls head, Wheatsheaf and the Queens, all dog friendly, although in the bull its only at the bar or the side room, everyone so friendly we were even invited to join the locals on the Friday/Saturday nights for drinks.
