The cottage is delightful and the village pretty, with a lovely pub and very handy well stocked shop nearby. The owners were generous with the essentials and lots of lovely thoughtful touches, which is not the standard for holiday cottage lets and therefore very much appreciated. The road running through the village was busier than I expected, though the additional glazing of the windows does eliminate a lot of this noise. It is of course far more noticeable with the doors or windows open, but I suspect this wouldn't bother everyone. Our stay unfortunately coincided with some emergency roadworks which greatly exacerbated the problem. This aside I would very much recommend this cottage for its comfort and the decor. As you would expect with a cottage of this age the original features are very quirky and extra care is required on the stairs. Thank you to the owners for the use of their beautiful cottage for the week.
