“The cottage itself is lovely, very well presented, clean, comfortable and had everything you could need.”
The location is great, close to some very beautiful sights and beaches - it’s a wonderful place to visit. The welcome pack was a nice touch as well, and much appreciated.
My only problem is about the accuracy of the listing, and other dog owners need to be aware - it needs to be a lot clearer in the description that there is no fully (safely) enclosed area for dogs to wander freely.
The garden is shared with the adjoining cottage and the fencing is not at all secure. Fortunately I have an old dog who doesn’t wander (and no one was in the cottage next door so we had the garden to ourselves) but any slightly curious dog could easily get through or over the fence and be off on an adventure (and there’s a busy train line and livestock fairly close to the cottage).
I had enquired about the garden before traveling so knew about the shared aspect but was told the courtyard was private - it isn’t, it’s just the frontage of the cottage which is basically a shared access track to the other cottages.
Personally, when I’m looking for a cottage to stay in, some sort of fully enclosed area for a dog is key, so wouldn’t choose to stay again for this reason (which is a shame, as otherwise it was perfect). Clearer wording would have allowed me to perhaps make a more suitable choice based on our particular needs.
