It is very well equipped with some nice little touches. It is in a nice friendly village with some good walks. The pub food is excellent. Just a couple of observations, it would be good from a health and safety point if the handrail on the stairs extended to the bottom. Some coat hooks somewhere would be good. We planning on returning later this year

Warm, welcoming and worked perfectly for a holiday with our dog. Lots of local walks and dog friendly pub just across the car park.

Walks on the doorstep, fantastic food at The Fox and also Nourish cafe. The cottage was as described and quirky. I just couldn`t get either the towel rail or central heating to work- except for one day which surprised us all!- so we had a week of damp towels and being rather cold ( not worth faffing with the wood burner).I did report this but nothing happened although the porch outside lights (also reported) were fixed for the final night. One other small point- the shower on/off is very hard to turn and a non slip bathmat would be a good idea.
