As someone said before, it was lovely when first renovated but it is definitely very tired now. The dishwasher falls forward every time you open the door, the freezer doors are all broken and overall the cottage is grubby. The hot tub is a waste of money and the price does not reflect the cottage. The location is beautiful, as are the views from thRead moree kitchen windows. Hide

The garden isnt secure for dogs which was a shame as it was the major selling point for us . Communication with the owners was excellent, the cottage is beautiful and the scenery equally beautiful. Lovely quiet location.

A wonderfully placed cottage, just a short drive off the motorway but 100% in the countryside. Surrounded by narrow country roads and farm animals. Very comfortable home, well equipped, like home from home. Highly recommended

Great location and views. Not many shops close by, just a service station, but nearest town is about 12 miles away. Well equipped kitchen games for the kids hair dryer and iron provided etc. has WiFi and smart TV with Netflix Dishwasher and tablets provided There is also a washing machine. No garden, shared driveway, so is not secure for the dog. WRead moree stayed in February, so the property may not have been used for a while. Surfaces were clean, but a deeper clean was needed. Hide

The cottage was lovely and we stayed here with our 3 beagles. It was well equipped and had everything you needed. The view from the top window was lovely and it was nice to sit there and have breakfast in the mornings.
