The property was very comfortable for the two of us, however it might be a bit less comfortable for four with no wardrobe for the second bedroom, also the bathroom for that room being down the stairs. Also those stairs might be awkward for older visitors. We found the very kitchen well equipped and easy to use, no induction hob to fight with. The shower worked well and had good hot water. One point that should be pointed out is that you have no control over the cottage central heating, it comes on a set times which might be a consideration in winter. As a previous review mentioned the TV is not great, but if you bring a Fire Stick as we do you will have no problem as the Wi-Fi works very well. We had a very nice stay with many NT properties not to far distant, except Blists Hill which the NT have sterilized, sadly.

Enjoyed the holiday, lovely little cottage - went for the peace and quiet - sadly not as peaceful as we had hoped had a constant thumping bass beat of rave party event , albeit not nearby but could be heard inside the cottage from Friday evening till Sunday evening, however Monday was peaceful when they left.- i suspect it's not too frequent but probably wouldn't risk it again.
