The owner had left a lovely welcome pack, which was very much appreciated. The beds were comfortable with crisp, clean linen. Clean towels were also provided. The 3/4 for maintenance and cleanliness, related to a constantly dripping kitchen tap and windows that needing cleaning, as did the glass canopy in the back courtyard. Sadly, the âkerb appealâ was lacking as the front entrance needed sweeping and cleaning. We appreciated the property was on a main road, but itâs these details that are relevant we feel. Having said the above, we would certainly rebook the accommodation should we ever visit the area again. It was very convenient for travelling to tourist attractions, and the village had all one needed, i.e butchers, convenience store, bakery and two pubs; both of which served food. S&D

Communication with the owner was 100% and the welcome bottle of fizz was a lovely touch. The cottage is very well equipped and had everything you could need. The village is well provided for in terms of shops & pubs, the Village Inn is excellent for both food and drink and the Granby opposite serves wonderful food. Would recommend this cottage 100%
