The stairs and getting into bed was quite challenging if youâve got joint problems. This is just a comment for advertising as I appreciate there was nowhere else to put the bed, and the stairs were quite steep. The cottage was in a lovely location and the garden was safe for my dog which was important for me

The cottage is tiny & basic, but had everything we needed; the local peafowl provided added entertainment! We would go back.
