Really difficult to find as postcode doesn’t take you there. Phoned Rachael she was very helpful, but needs bigger signage as so easy to miss on a very busy road.

Not allowed to use garden pictured and guest Patio not accessible from accommodation only through owners garden. Steps in to property and first few steps upstairs no handrails. Very low ceiling above toilet. Owners told us on arrival to walk dogs up drive for them to ***, its unlit and unmade no torch supplied. Outside lighting controlled by owners, not put on for us, until we complained to cottages,com. Property is very overlooked by owners. No dining table only a breakfast bar.Plus side lovely area.
