As dog owners we had a fabulous, relaxed stay at the Toddles. There were no restrictions relating to dogs not going on sofas or leaving them unattended, and while we only left them once, it was nice to have a restaurant visit without them.

This is our 3rd stay at the cottage so I think that says volumes. The cottage is clean, well equipped and set in a beautiful, peaceful location so for those seeking a quieter location it is ideal. When you are ready to explore it is only about 30 minutes from the main attractions and beautiful wide expanse of beaches which are very dog friendly.

Lovely relaxing break. The cottage had everything we needed, and was very cosy with a log fire and a settee each! The garden is dog safe, one of ours is an escape artist and we felt safe leaving him to wander; ours are medium size, the wall is thigh high so a bigger dog with an eye for adventure may need keeping an eye on. Would stay there again.
