Cottage needed some maintenance, however for price we paid it was value for money. If cottage was better maintained with a few basic improvements we would be happy to stay again. We enjoyed our stay, however, when we arrived there was a full trolley of recycling rubbish which had not been sorted or empied by several previous occupants. Before we could put our own recycling rubbish into the boxes, we had to sort other peoples rubbish as the bin men refused to collect mixed rubbish. This issue should have been done by the cleaning team before our arrival.

A great location to the village & a good size for 2 people & a dog. The cleanliness & condition of the cottage let it down.

Perfect base for exploring the area. Parking can be an issue as previous people have said but we didn't have an issue at this time of year.
