The only downside was the cottage was a little chilly, but it is a stone building. Beds are comfortable plenty of hot water well equipped kitchen. Complementary bottle of wine was appreciated. As was a few apples my children picked from the garden for a crumble. The pub next door has amazing food too when we didn't feel like cooking and surprisingly we didn't hear anything even being so close. We would definitely stay again.
