Definitely would recommend for a stay. Near Ceres village (walkable during daytime). Wonderful grounds and so many amazing places to visit nearby. Not to be missed.
Stephen
Heating by electric storage heaters which still pumped out heat for ages after being turned off. Very little to criticise. The table was adequate for 2 people but would be a squeeze for 4 and it was difficult to get legs under. Shortly after arriving I encountered the bathroom door frame which was about 6ft.and being 6ft 2in I cracked my head and spent my time moving around stooped. A warning is needed (Duck or Grouse) as seen in pubs.
Susan
He hit his head three times on the doorways to kitchen and bathroom as the cottage doorways were lower than usual. I feel this should be disclosed in the property description as I would not have booked the cottage had I known this. Property was very clean and the bed was comfortable.
