The cottage is spacious, very well equipped and furnished and in a very pleasant location. It has it's own garden although I imagine the noise from the M1 would be a bit intrusive in the summerSomebody with mobility difficulties might find it difficult accessing the upstairs bedrooms as the stairs are rather steep. There are also a few steps up to the downstairs bedroom.
