Beautiful little cottage with everything you would need for your stay. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend. Pros were:•Bedding/towels/kitchenware all of high quality. •Beautifully presented property. •Beds were very comfortable. •Our youngest was very pleased to see a PlayStation 4 and a few games in the property, and our eldest was pleased with the good Wi-Fi connection! 😆•The village has huge historic history. The only cons were: •The front door sticks when opening/closing. •The fridge is very small, which is completely unavoidable due to the age of the property and space within the galley kitchen. • After it had rained we would find slugs on the kitchen floor, but we couldn’t figure out where they were getting in!

Pine Door is an excellent place to stay as a base for all the fabulous places to visit in the vicinity. Our only suggestion is that the back yard could be made a much nicer place to sit out in- other than that everything else was great for us !
