    “Dolphin Cottage was wonderful.”

    It was well equipped for all we needed, including a dog bowl and some much-appreciated basics like salt and vinegar for our chips! The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch. The enclosed garden was great for our dogs, and even though it is in a central location, it was really peaceful. We have already booked to go back, so that is the best recommendation I can give.
