We absolutely loved our weekend at the dairy cottage. The cottage is gorgeous. The hot tub so great and so easy to use. It was so peaceful. Just what my husband and I needed. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The space was well organized and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient with lovely dog walks.The only thing I would recommend is updating the mattress and bed pillows, as we found them quite uncomfortable. Updating the bedding would also help improve comfort. Additionally, the two-seater sofa was quite uncomfortable and could benefit from an upgrade.The shower downstairs was also broken, we had to hold the shower head in our hands in order to shower. This could be an easy replacement.With these improvements, this would be an even better place to stay. We enjoyed our time away.Many thanks
