    As soon as you walk in you can feel the warmth and love that has gone into it. Everything has been thought about in detail. Every cooking item & utensil is provided (and a lovely welcome pack of goodies), the shower is powerful, the sofas and bed (we only used one) are really comfortable, the TV is a good size, the electricity sockets are plentiful (a rarity!), the garden is lovely and secure, the area is peaceful and the locals we spoke to were very friendly. I saw a couple of comments about the stairs being steep but we have stayed in a lot of cottages and most of them have staircases as steep or steeper than this one. All in all, we would have been very happy to move in permanently ☺️

    Generally an excellent cottage in great location As advertised the stairs are very steep which would be a problem for the elderly or infirm Lack of proper curtains in bedroom 2 could be an issue for light sleepers in the summer Back door sticking is a real problem and has been reported by other visitors Very difficult to turn the central heating down as it seems to override after a short while and there were very few instructions

  • Jon

    Really cosy and a short walk from the village pub. The cottage has everything you would need and the beds were very comfortable. The rear garden is enclosed which means you can safely let your dog out for morning/evening pee and was a great sun trap. Central heating was great as was the bathroom. The only minor points are the bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are a little steep but nothing too complain about We loved the scones as a welcome and will be staying again
