The hot tub is a popular feature, although some guests noted a wait time for optimal temperature.

Some minor issues with outdoor furniture and maintenance were mentioned, but overall, the cottage offers a memorable and comfortable experience.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-presented, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One mention of a greasy cooker hood suggests a slight deduction, but overall, the property is maintained to a clean and inviting standard.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its idyllic setting and proximity to local amenities like a pub and shop. The scenic walks and rural charm contribute to its appeal, although the access road's condition and presence of flies in the countryside slightly affect the score.
Guests enjoyed the cosy and accommodating nature of the cottage, with its multiple lounges and spacious garden. However, some guests mentioned issues with cold temperatures downstairs and the need for softer mattresses, which suggests room for improvement in overall comfort.
The property is well-equipped with a variety of cooking equipment and a hot tub, which is a highlight for many guests. However, there were comments about the lack of sun loungers, the need for better outdoor furniture, and a few maintenance issues, indicating that while facilities are good, there is potential for enhancement.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of welcome gifts such as wine and basic supplies, which guests found delightful. It is important to note that while these gestures are highly appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Everything is there that you need, and it was a brilliant space for us as a group of friends for a weekend. You can walk in many directions from the house into the stunning countryside. The local pub is quirky and good value and a short ish walk down the hill in the village.
