The beds were comfortable, all 4 of us slept well. Kitchen was well equipped; the only thing I missed was a cafetiere, but this wasn't a big deal. Only real downside to the property was the WiFi - the bandwidth was really poor, affecting Netflix and pretty much any online activity - even just uploading photographs required patience & gaming was a no-no. In summary, a very clean and comfortable property; we had a lovely stay and would happily recommend it.

The local pub is presently closed, and there are no shopping facilities in the village, so perhaps not suitable for some visitors.

A nice welcome package greeted us so we did not need to worry about anything! We would certainly recommend Rose Cottage for a nice break at any time of the year!
