    NEGATIVE: we didn't realise that the cottage was on a fairly busy road * We arrived in a heatwave and were unable to open the windows as they were secured by locks and no information provided about unlocking them (we contacted the housekeeper who brought a key later that day) * Entering the lounge from the hall there is a narrow gap between the corner of the hearth and a sofa - my wife and I both tripped (we moved the sofa a few inches to improve this) * Property notes suggest two emergency exits (back door and front door) but we have concerns about the front door being a viable fire escape as it is partially obstructed by the dining table and chairs, the key is on a hook near the kitchen, the door has two bolts and is a little stiff to open and cannot be opened fully because of the table * There are no coffee making facilities * The kitchen knives are rather blunt and some non-stick pans are past their best.

    Well equipped and comfortable. Enjoyed family time for my 50th birthday after cancer treatment. Thank you.

    Lovely and quiet area not far from all the places we wanted to see. The cottage had everything we needed for a fabulous holiday. Really loved it and would recommend to anyone. Great for the dog too - very safe enclosed garden. No hesitation in coming back for another visit.
