The place was perfectly fine but its in need of a good clean, a spurce up and de cutter as storage space was a bit tight in the cottage.Its near a petrol station, shop and local pub, and also an excellent farm cafe just up the road.The big plus for this cottage was 2 swimming pools, sadly the weather was not good enough to use the outside one so we kept to the inside pool.

Great location by the two pools ,nearby shop and pub , however we had no hot water for two days ,the furniture was stained as we're the bedroom walls (needs a lot of TLC) worst of all was the velux window in the small bedroom leaked and made my daughters bed and duvet wet ,I called the owner and she sorted the problem out ,the shower was very poor and the grout was dirty, overall we made the best of it .
