Great to have the extensive folder of copies of local walks provided in the cottage by the owners. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!
Helen
Perfect for keen walkers! The cottage was lovely, comfortable and well equipped, parking isnât an issue as the church car park is very close. Listing could be clearer about expectations around dogs - information in the cottage said that they werenât allowed on the furniture or upstairs and that they werenât to toilet in the garden area! Washing machine is a bonus but nothing is provided to dry washing!
Carolyn
The information folders were really helpful, especially in relation to the recycling requirements. Parking is a âchallengeâ so be prepared for not being able to park directly outside the property. There is space by the local church with an honesty box that we used. Very friendly local pub, but food not available every day. Great communication from the owners so no problems finding the property or the keys. Thank you for a lovely time - so much better than a hotel.
