    1st impressions count, on arrival, the first thing you see is the front door is dirty, open the door and note the rubber seal is hanging off, the kitchen area is adequate but the sink was stinking & the tea towels provided were not fit as floor clothes never mind tea towels, around the entire property skirting boards filthy rotten & in some places hanging off, carpet disgusting in the bedroom, the different levels in the property are just aggravating, didn't enjoy our stay here at all, also the property is far from anywhere & it's a 15-minute drive before the main road

  • Stephen

    The cottage was well decorated and clean, but a few issues for us was the bed was very firm, we needed to put the duvet on the mattress to sleep,none of the chairs were comfortable, and you had to keep stepping up and down to move from the kitchen to the lounge to the bedroom no good for older people,more for a younger couple, saying that a nice place,quiet and good for walkes

    Perfect size for 2 people and a large dog. We had a lovely stay here. The owners are very friendly and we were greeted with freshly laid eggs! There’s a large field to walk and exercise your dog in i which was very useful as our dog hurt his paws on a walk the very first day so couldn’t walk far. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
