In nearly 50 years of staying in holiday cottages this was by far the most quiet and peaceful one we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped and a lovely secure garden for the dog. Plenty of walks straight from the door. We found the underfloor heating a bit overpowering as we were in the middle of a heatwave but I'm sure it's great in cooler weather. The only slight niggle was that some of the door locks could do with attention, they were very difficult to lock and unlock. We will definitely be back!
