Bedrooms Great. Warmth Great. Hot water Great. Peaceful.Bathroom Horrible, dark gloomy, looked dirty, shower not moveable, BLACK ….didnt feel comfortable in there. Water didn’t drain away properly…..why would I want to use a scraper to take water out ? Really out of keeping in an old cottage style property. Curtains horrible..very poor. Kitchen tap….CRAZY…..why ?No instructions for wood burner which looked very dodgy….needs some attention.Felt general ‘instructions’ were rather bossy.However, We enjoyed ourselves despite the potholes in the lanes which were frankly dangerous. Weather was dire but we loved the local walks.

We spoke to comfortable few days at this cottage. It was well equipped, clean and in a quiet location. There is a warning that the stairs are steep-we didn’t find this to be an issue as long as you took care when using them. And we are an older couple. The owners gave Claire instructions regarding access and answered an email query very quickly. All in all, a place to recommend.
