The old Malthouse was a lovely old cottage. Very well equipped, and comfortable. It had everything we needed, and really well situated. The pub just in the village was also a find, and lovely walking from the cottage for our early morning walk with our dogs. We will certainly come again.

Cleanliness was not great as when I went to put our shopping away I noticed in the fridge there was a big puddle of water and the kitchen surfaces had yellowy browns stains on them. There was water in the kettle and rubbish in the bathroom bin but once we had cleaned up the kitchen it was a lovely place to stay, beds clean and comfortable.
