The cottage was so clean and we equipped. A very peaceful location. The welcome pack was very well thought out and very useful. The pub within walking distance served excellent food. We could not find any faults with it.

A really lovely, peaceful stay at this spacious and well-equipped cottage. Everything you could need, and lovely secure garden so no worries about the dog.The bathroom is en suite to the main bedroom, but this is clear on the details, and wasn't an issue for myself or the friend I went with. We had a lovely meal in the village pub, but there was everything you need to prepare food at the cottage. Everything was good quality, and very comfortable.
