This is one of the best thought through cottages we have stayed at, it was really well equipped and very practical, with a strong emphasis on being accompanied by dogs. Great dark skies location, wonderfully quiet and very good hosts who deserve a great deal of credit for thinking through the facilities from the point of view of the visitor.
