Lovely location. Kitchen is well equipped. The summer house is the highlight for the property located at the top of the garden with beautiful views over the hills. However the garden is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Comfort is the major problem with this cottage, the main bedroom mattress is absolutely exhausted of comfort, seating in lounge area, is so uncomfortable, it needs replacing, it’s almost like cast offs have been used to facilitate the cottage, however the cottage is in a fabulous position for everything one could want for, walks, pubs, and general amenities are all excellent.We ( my wife and I) let properties in the London area, and the secret of furnished lettings; IS…… would YOU want to live there yourself?I think not.
