The cottage receives consistent commendation for its exceptional cleanliness, with guests noting it is well-kept and spotless, contributing to a comfortable stay.
The peaceful and beautiful country setting is appreciated by guests, though some mention the narrow roads and the need to drive, which slightly affects the convenience.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort, mentioning excellent sleep quality, comfy beds, and a cosy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.
The facilities, including a hot tub, games room, and well-equipped kitchen, are well received. However, a minor note on dampness and the need for more dishwasher tablets suggests room for slight improvement.

Damon and Karen are very welcoming and left a lovely basket on the table Prosseco, and fresh cack which was really tasty. They also left us fresh eggs from the local farm. They provided us with firewood for the fireplace and charcoal for the barbeque which was very nice of them. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and well maintained and it has everything you need. Hot tub was beautiful and checked daily. Thank you for a lovely stay.
