Is a little of the beaten track and the actual building is in need of an update, the bathrooms are poor and the shower in the room with a bath is very narrow and the flow of water very low, Heating could only be put on after 7am

We would definitely recommend this cottage. We always say as soon as we walk into a cottage, we know whether we are going to like it, this one is just 'Excellent' and ticks all the necessary points we look for such as cleanliness, presentation, comfort, 'No Pets'. More that enough items for four people to stay with plenty of room for everyone. PlenRead morety of cupboard space, with good fridge & freezer, never used the washing machine. The bedrooms are large as is the living room and kitchen. The conservatory finishes everything off, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here even if the weather was C..p!! Hide
