The cottage is at the top of a hill with fantastic views over the countryside,l spoilt only by the condition of the front garden. The loft bedroom is nearly inaccessible because of the stair case and be careful of you head with the low doorway. The shower tray fills with water before you can finish your shower and takes a long time before you can uRead morese it again. The loft bedroom is not fit to stay in as the house next door has burnt down and the loft stinks of smoke. Hide

Beautifully presented, very clean. So much space. The beds are very comfortable and the slipper bath was a real treat, The owners left a generous welcome pack and wood for the open fire, for which we were very grateful, The views from every window are amazing. Wed highly recommend.

The cottage was wonderful - very relaxing and comfortable. Lovely bedding and beautiful wool blankets dotted about the place. The view from the front for the cottage is out of this world and really could not be beaten. The cottage had a very loved feel and there were ample towels, cutlery, crockery and pans. There is also a cupboard full of oils, sRead morepices, herbs, etc, along with complimentary tea, coffee, decaf coffee and sugar - all very greatly received and appreciated. So relaxing. Hide
