  • Lynda Baxter

    Lovely cottage. Clean and comfortable. Everything you need for cooking etc. Bathroom lovely. Beds nice and comfortable. Two large bedrooms. Nice and warm too. Although on a busy road there was little noise. Available parking outside the cottage but it can be busy after people have finished work. This didn't impact our stay as we left the car parked for the duration and walked/used public transport. All in all a very enjoyable stay and would definitely return.
