Perfectly situated for lovely walks and nice pubs. Everything in the kitchen was super clean. Nice little garden. Would definitely go back.

The shower is brilliant especially for elderly with mobility issues. Only a couple things we thought could be improved, 1) the beds are very low to the floor, could be challenging for those being a bit older. 2) Sofa and chair are older and too soft, feels like you are being swallowed and a bithard to get out of. 3) pretty bad oil smell from boiler in the kitchen, so we kept kitchen door closed most of the time. Other than that lovely little cosy cottage.
