Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms, the double bedroom having a TV.

Property was clean and functional. The parking was OK once you realised that it had to be done in a particular way! No recycle bin outside and both front and rear door locks could do with attention. Overall well presented.

(Parking really isnât that much of an issue, as previous people have mentioned.)Not sure how quiet itâll be when the refurbishment of the pub opposite is done. In good area to access places to visit. Cleanliness was good, except the bathroom. Mould around edges of the bath, and the seal at the bottom of the shower screen needs removing and cleaning. Had trouble with the internet, contacted owner.. the fault was external but was sorted and resolved as soon as was possible. Over all we enjoyed our time in the cottage. Small things that could have made a difference, milk in the fridge on arrival. I had to buy kitchen cleaner and hand soap for the bathroom. Not a biggy, but the small things count
