The cottage is in a great location. It appeared clean and was equipped with everything we needed. However we were shocked when we stripped the bed at the end of our stay and found quite a few what appeared to be blood stains on the quilt. Hence the low score for cleanliness.

No heating in the property whatsoever and this has clearly been an ongoing issue since a review in march 2024 such a shame as storage heaters are clearly condemned and no fuse in switch board or plugs for heaters so clearly intentional would not recommend this property

There was alot to be desired in this cottage. A total update of furniture and makeover could possibly bring this cottage to an acceptable level for letting. In it's current state I couldn't recommend

Lovely location with walks right from the back yard. Upside down layout with beds downstairs and small open plan lounge / diner / kitchen above. (Was just about adequate for 2 adults and a teenager), 2 local pubs and shops within yards of the front door. Window frames rotten and require replacing.

This cosy cottage is in a great location in the centre of the village and only 2 mins walk from the fantastic The Devonshire Arms. Book ahead as its very small so usually the dining room is fully reserved. As others have said the cottage is compact so only really suitable for a couple or 2 adults & 1 child. Whilst there are plenty of kitchen utensiRead morels and foil and cling film there is absolutely nothing else so you will need to bring salt & pepper, hair dryers etc (Shame they cant provide these) Hide

We had a wonderful few days in this beautiful cottage in the snow (which reduced the walking we were expecting to do, but that's no-one's fault). For us, the beds were too soft, but otherwise, we were perfectly comfortable.
