We had an absolutely fantastic stay. All of us thought this was one of the best holiday cottages we'd ever stayed at. It had a lovely warm, homely feel, a sense of history and was really well-equipped. We all slept really well too, which is really rare! We didn't have much need for TV/internet, but I would say the TV in the top room didn't work (as far as we could work out), and internet was patchy other than in the green lounge. It didn't really matter, but might be worth looking at in the future. It'd be great to have an info pack about the history of the house and suggested walks too - such an interesting place!
