    Photo on advert for Well Cottage is not truly representative of the actual condition. Patio needs cleaning Problem with shower in front bedroom and shower over the bath was disappointing and note many comments in guest book about this problem. May by the side door brought more dirt in - needs replacing. Small bedroom not good with no natural light and did not work for our party. Vacuum was broken and difficult to use It’s a beautiful house in great location but it just needs a bit of tlc

    The house is lovely and was spotless. It was one of our first holidays with our toddler and having a big, safe garden for her to run around in and being so close to the village (and the ducks) made our stay brilliant. We had plenty of space/bathrooms in the house for a family holiday. I can't recommend this property enough - if you're looking at it book it!!

  • Adam

    Very comfortable and very well equipped. The only one niggle we had was the patio area… this needed clearing and cleaning. Other than that we had a wonderful week and fabulous heatwave!
