Clean. Easy to find. 8.30am to 9.30 am and 6pm to 6.30 pm severe drop in cold water pressure due to farm operation made using the shower impossible. At other times the shower pressure was feeble. This was in the details on site but NOT made clear in online booking description. Sykes say they have spoken to the owner. No basics like salt, pepper, sugar . 1 toilet roll. Inside calm and pleasant, outside area very basic plus road noise but plenty of dogs and horses and located next to large farm buildings with fields to the rear. Owner unsympathetic about the lack of water pressure saying, â Welcome to the pleasures of the countrysideâ .

Delightful friendly dogs who entertained us during our stay. Good wifi. Quiet location up a long drive away from the road. Safe parking. Very friendly owners and four-legged stable occupants. There is a spiral staircase to access the upstairs as shown in the photographs. The cottage is accessed via a drive off the main road. (not off Monkey Lane) as I gleaned from the O/S map, (my fault).
