Everything was supplied including essentials, milk, tea and even a bottle of prosecco . Amazing quality bedding and towels all supplied too. Great location with parking and bus stop just across the road. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

The welcome pack was a nice touch and very useful. Be aware of the stairs as they are quite steep, no problem for younger people but as grandparents we had to to take extra care on them. Likewise the driveway being on a slope could also be tricky for us. That said no major problem. Our party arrived in two cars one of which we parked in the garage, where it stayed as we used the buses, as the stops were very close. As the weather was good the grandchildren also made good use of the garden. Thank you.

The only suggestion I would make is a 'mind your head' sign at the bottom of the stairs not just visible to people descending. I also think the steepness and shallowness of the treads should be mentioned in the main cottage details.
