Clean and comfortable. There are no doors on the bedrooms due to the layout of the conversion, this was not an issue for my sister and I. However, it may not be appropriate for others. We enjoyed feeding the resident peacock who came knocking on the back door each morning. There is not a huge amount of natural light in the property due to it being a barn conversion; however, the owners have provided plenty of lamps and overhead lighting so this was not an issue for us. An extra shelf in the oven would be better as it was difficult to cook numerous items at the same time with only one shel. In addition, a drainer would have also been useful for the dishes and a container to leave the recyclable items in rather than at the side of the bin as indicated. However, these small things did not detract from our stay which was excellent. The cottage was wonderfully warm, the lady we dealt with was pleasant and we would not hesitate to return if in the area again.

We had therefore booked the pub in Hulme End for our evening meal, so were disappointed with the mix-up. The details for the property do not state that there are no doors on the bedroom, we recommend this is addressed. There was a mouse in the kitchen. The shower was nice.
