But loo flush very stiff n hurt my wrist, but that's the only concern. Would more than likely visit the cottage again. Thankyou.

All amenities are available (would recommend some oven gloves). All expectations of a little farmhouse, a lovely back garden, nice patio area for a bbq. Will definitely be back.

At over6ft The low beam caught me out a few times. Very cozy and lovely beds however the downstairs toilet at the other end of the property was not ideal when you need to go a few times at night. The kitchen smelt of heating oil at times and was very noisy when it kicked in a 6am waking us and the dogs up too early each morning
