Confirmed Guest
Just enjoyed a 4 night stay. The house was well set up for 4 of us and very cosy with the wood burners. I would recommend it and come back back again. A car parking space was an added bonus.

Great location, stayed at this cottage before but after 2nd stay, noticed appliances need to be updated and cleanliness was poor, found mouldy floor boards under bed in main bedroom, cobwebs everywhere and would suggest a good thorough clean, as this had an effect on my respiratory conditions.
