The facilities are well suited for two people, the instructions for the use of the cottage are clear, and were explained by the friendly owner who lives next door, and came in to go through them. Just a couple of points: as we had travelled quite a long way a welcome pack would have been well received (if only a small carton of milk and a couple of sachets of tea and coffee) We also found the nearby main road too noisy with the heavy passing traffic to be able to sit out in peace. Although there is wonderful scenary in the surrounding countryside, there are no views from the property. We should also perhaps mention that the cotttage is opposite a double garage that has an overnight security light that is constantly lit - soemtimes flashes - and shines directly into the bedroom. (This garage doesn't belong to the owner, so the disturbance is no fault of his, though). Still, all in all, we had good weather and some fabulous walks.
