Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-kept, with multiple reviews highlighting its immaculate condition. One isolated comment mentioned the presence of beetles, but this seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its peace, quiet, and beautiful countryside views. It's noted for being close to local amenities and offering easy access to walks and nearby villages, making it an ideal rural retreat.
Guests find the cottage cosy and welcoming, with a warm atmosphere and comfortable furnishings. However, there are a few remarks about the shower room being on the small side, which suggests that while comfort is generally high, there is room for improvement.
The cottage is well-furnished and equipped for a pleasant stay, but some guests have pointed out issues with the bathroom facilities and suggested that certain aspects require updating or repair.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing fresh eggs and dog treats. It's important to note that such personal touches, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

The cottage is spacious. Hosts were very helpful, we had a problem in the cottage and they sorted it quickly. Lovely, freshly laid eggs had been left for us-thank you.
