Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage's exceptional cleanliness, noting the pristine condition of the bedding, towels, and overall property.
The property is described as quiet and peaceful, with some guests appreciating the proximity to local pubs and attractions. However, the lack of amenities in the immediate village leads to a slightly lower score.
Guests rave about the comfortable furnishings, particularly the bed, and the relaxing atmosphere of the cottage, contributing to a high comfort rating.
The cottage is lauded for its well-maintained and high-standard facilities, including a hot tub, wine fridge, and fully equipped kitchen, with only a minor suggestion for an outdoor broom.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome hampers and attention to detail, although it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Everything you could need. The bathroom, the bed, the hot tub - everything was top notch. Great little base for exploring the local area but you really don't want to leave!
