Absolutely first class. I cannot in good conscience recommend it as a place for families with children due to the very close proximity of the pub and it's car park. I feel this should have been elaborated much more strongly. The noise as the customers leave is very loud and your sleep is severely interrupted. Even large farm vehicles are heard starting up right outside the bedroom windows.

Didnt have the opportunity to enjoy the garden but well maintained and spacious. Rebecca very helpful when traffic delay may have caused a delivery issue. Cottage itself very comfortable and clean.
