This cottage has a wealth of comforts and charm. The grounds, the underfloor heating, the beds, the kitchen. All these had a touch of luxury that made our stay wonderful. Thank you to the owners for their attention to detail, help and welcome goodies. Will highly recommend Rookery Cottage.

As other visitors have mentioned a microwave would be useful. And a blind at ensuite window would be good especially with builders working on scaffold next door!! We could only get tv to work on tv apps. So might be tricky for some. Also there was an ant infestation on last couple of days. This can happen anywhere but ant powder would be helpful!!!

We are not all up with modern tech. In the Shower room you were overlooked from the adjacent property, It would be helpful if a blind could be fitted to the window.
