    The cottage itself was very comfortable and well equipped .There was a beautiful victoria sandwich in the kitchen on our arrival which tasted as good as it looks .The pub about a mile away ,The Brown Cow served lovely food at reasonable prices .The portions were huge and the staff were great .We were a party if 10 and there was plenty of room for us all at the dining table .Probably only enough seating for 10 in the lounge ,but there were chairs in the bedrooms and dining chairs which could be used if there had been 12 of us .I would definitely recommend staying in this lovely cottage .

    We stayed for my wife and twin sisters 40th Birthday and we had the best time. The rooms are amazing and there's so much to do nearby. We were greeted by a homemade cake too which was a nice touch.

    Its a perfect accommodation if you have several families coming together as there is an en-suite for each room. I do think the check out time is a little early and cuts your break short so an additional hour would be ideal to allow a more relaxed departure. Id say 5 of the 6 rooms were lovely but one could do with a bit of TLC as its a tad dated/tired compared to others. We had good comms from the owner at points but some messages remained not responded to which is a shame as one was asking how we rebook for next year with them. This is honestly the perfect booking for several families to come together for a few day/nights with out feeling on top of one another and I would say its a great booking for 12 persons young or old.
