The cottage is everything it appears to be in the brochure/description. Beautiful throughout, with high quality and excellent taste obvious everywhere. A lovely rural location that is nevertheless only a shory journey from shops, pubs, restaurants etc.

The cottage is very comfortable and has most of the utensils you would need for a weeks stay. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is powerful with plenty of space to wash in.

Lovely clean cottage which was well equipped. Disappointing that the pool, as advertised, was not available for our use. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we have discussed this with the owner and the issue has now been resolved.
