The owners were on site and were very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom had plenty of storage space. The kitchen was extremely well resourced. We did, however, find that the sofa, that was actually a pullout bed, to be uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time. The dining table and accompanying chairs were also very small and flimsy with the chairs being very uncomfortable to use. Other than these two issues, we enjoyed our week in the cottage very much.

One very very tiny issue, maybe a hand towel ring to the left of the bathroom sink. Would absolutely stay again.

Annexe was nice and cosy ideal for 2, set in a beautiful location. Only minor issues were no hook in bathroom to hang towels, if taking a big dog there is a cattle grid at the entrance to the farm and we had to carry our collie over it, as he wouldnât go anywhere near it. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in the countryside, it was nice and peaceful.
