We had a lovely 4 days at Letterbox Cottage.

We had a lovely 4 days at Letterbox Cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable. Our 2 dogs loved the local walks, but be aware that there isn’t any garden at the property for them. We gave 4 out of 5 for cleanliness just because the net curtains and windows need washing. Had a very nice meal in the pub opposite and they were very welcoming of our dogs.
