Beautifully decorated, very comfortable and warm. Immaculately clean and so well equipped. Fabulous location. Only one very minor issue, shower was great but water pressure not very good in washbasin in bathroom but that's a very minor issue.. All in all had a relaxing few days and going to book again next year. Thoroughly recommend. Scenery wonderful. Fabulous autumn colours.

The facilities are adequate, though the lack of some kitchen equipment is a frustration. The fact that one must step straight in from the outside onto the sitting room carpet is a worry with a wet dog! This meant cleaning had to take place outside the front door, in the rain, which is not great. Nevertheless, we had a good time exploring the area, despite less than friendly weather conditions. We would stay again, with some reservations .

There are lots of things to do and see with lovely walks out from the cottage, it is great to be able to do things without having to get in a car and drive. The hand ferry was a great experience over to the Saracens Head with good food available there and also at Ye Old Ferrie Inn a ten minute walk away. The cottage was really clean and well organised with great local amenities available. I would really recommend staying here and definitely would go back!
