Cottage was warm & welcoming though a little dated regarding furniture & furnishings. We didn't really see many of the animals and was unsure of where / how to view, meet them. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking etc. A welcome pack would be a lovely extra though there's was tea coffee sugar and milk for our arrival

A spotlessly clean cottage upon arrival. Absolutely lovely hosts who are very knowledgeable and care a lot about their animals. Something for all ages to enjoy and a peaceful place to sleep. Its only a few minutes to great local beaches and loads of local attractions. A great place to unwind on holiday, we will definitely be returning.
