Super clean and everything provided for a very comfortable holiday. Loved the quietness of the countryside and views from the property. Very well placed for lots of walking.

The cottage was extremely comfortable with good facilities. The only down side was the shower and the colour of the water. The shower had zero pressure so the next night I opted for a bath. I ran the water and it was brown! We had had a lot of rain so I'm guessing that had something to do with it. The owner (Dave) was very helpful and welcoming. The cottage had a great little "welcome" pack with ample tea, coffee, milk etc. Even some doggy biscuits for our fur ball Willow. All in all a very enjoyable week away and, yes, we would stay again.

Games room good. However needs some redecorating downstairs, marks on walls particularly in the lounge area. Curtains faded by the sun. Bin in kitchen broken on the side. These things could easily be sorted. I feel for the price I paid I was disappointed and I expected more. Cottage company should be inspecting at least yearly.
