Halfpenny cottage is a good four bedroom three bathroom cottage with plenty of room to relax inside. The furniture is a little tired but comfortable and more than adequate. All bathrooms are adequate with everything working. All bedrooms are clean and well fitted out , a hairdryer is provided in the ensuite bedroom The garden is ok and safe for dogs as it is fully enclosed so no escaping. The downside of the garden is the smell from the kerosene oil container which can at times be unpleasant .My one and only complaint is the road noise which if you are used to a quiet location is very intrusive, the road is just a few metres from the front of the cottage and is used by lots of farm vehicles (tractors with trailers) and many heavy goods vehicles ,the traffic starts early morning and continues all day ,if you are used to this level of noise then Halfpenny cottage would be perfect.

Half Penny cottage is an extremely comfortable holiday accommodation, wonderfully equipped and tastefully decorated. Good quality bedlinen is a feature which is very important to me, and it didn't disappoint. The location is surprisingly larger than expected, with few vacation friendly resources.Although the property is positioned on the main road the parking facilities are very helpful.
