The property is described as cosy and comfortable, with a good layout and warm atmosphere. However, several guests mentioned that the beds were uncomfortable, which impacts the comfort score.

Howard
so useful to have separate bathrooms for a group of friends. the water was very HOT! the owner was very friendly without interfering, check in & out simple. In a good location for visiting local towns, museums, walks etc. Only minor points: the knives need to be sharper and the hob was not easy to use and very slow. Would definitely recommend.

Beds not that comfortable needs new mattresses. No WFI this is really needed . It's quite unusual these days not to have WFI in a holiday cottage. Over all great location, friendly owner and restful week away
