Bedding and towels not changed. Although the owner sent in cleaners once notified, it put a dampener on our stay. Cottage pretty enough. Disappointing garden as is diagonally across from back of property. Kitchen window overlooks neighbours garden. Local pub very pretty but disappointing meal.

It's very clean and homely, the beds are comfortable . The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. One of the neighbours told my husband that the cottage was in an awful state but has had a lot of work done to it and you can definitely see that. The pub is a 2 minute walk away which is very friendly and serves very nice food. The cottage is a great place to make your base and explore the surrounding area.

The welcome pack, containing locally produced food, was a lovely touch. We enjoyed circular walks from the door and followed recommendations from friendly villagers to enhance our stay. Couldn't fit it all into a weekend so have booked to return in the spring!
