The communication was first class and all the added information helped us settle in to what was a fantastic break over New Years. A beautiful cottage and garden which must be even more amazing in the summer.

The downstairs bedroom and shower room was good but the steps to the garden where very steep and the handrail unsteady. The floors downstairs where very uneven with numerous small steps which made it treacherous for someone with limited mobility. It would have been useful to have more of these details before we booked. We had a lovely holiday with some of our family and this is a great house for fully mobile people.
