We did find the internet connection was both rather slow and also intermittent. However, Openreach staff were working in the area, and it could be the signal will be better in the future.

We had a lovely stay at this cute, cosy little cottage perfect for a weekend getaway. The place was clean and had a really welcoming feel. The only downsides were that the reception was a bit patchy, even when connected to the WiFi, and there were a few bugs around (which is understandable being out in the country). Overall though, it was a great stay and we enjoyed our time here!

The cottage is is a quiet location on a farm with 2 adjoining cottages. It is very well appointed with everything one could need. It was beautifully clean and very comfortable. We would certainly consider returning at some point in the future.
