Summary: We loved our stay at Gowland Cottage!! We spent three weeks on holiday and it really felt like a home from home. We had a few questions at the start of the stay and all were answered within minutes by Kate. The house is in a quiet location in the old town and having a private drive makes life a lot easier. Very rare to find a holiday home you actually enjoy spending lots of time in and isn’t just a base but we really did enjoy our lazy mornings or cosys nights at Gowland cottage. Would really recommend!! Also a really nice little touch to have a welcome basket with some goodies for our stay.
