Tastefully decorated, warm and cosy. Bed very hard so caused issues with sleeping. Pump in bathroom very loud so avoid turning light on in middle of night!

It is a clean and tidy cottage with basic facilities (enough for two) but as we expected no washing machine. The bedroom was cosy and the bed comfortable in King size and area quiet day and night. The views from the backside of the cottage were good with an outdoor table and two chairs for the nicer warm days. The doors on either side of the cottage are full glass frames so privacy is an issue and you will at most times need to keep the blinds closed. There are no side windows only two roof windows for lighting. The TV works well but you only have freeview and a basic DVD player (not blue-ray). All in all Sleights is a great place with all the local amenities with a chippy (great), post office, butchers, small supermarket and Plough pub. Access to the cottage is via a single track farm road through sheep grazing fields. Its not too muddy just a bit bumpy so take it easy. But be warned for the sporty HO-HA henrys with flashy low level cars you find access difficult unless you want your exhaust ripped out.
