The cottage outside looks tired but I saw it up for sale so that may explain why. The garden furniture was tired. I would have definitely booked again the location and parking was a bonus. Lovely stay

Prefer king sized bed, plenty of room for one. Patio rather scruffy, swept it myself, also cleaned outside of kitchen window as lovely view spoiled by dirty window.

All great except: Matress in master bedroom not comfortable we ended up having to sleep seperatley just to try and get some sleep. Need additional blackout curtains in main bedroom (I know theres already a blind but light still comes in) No knife sharpener Everything else was superb. But I'm not sure we'll be back for a third time due to the bad sleeping situation. Maybe wev'e been spoiled with the Hypnos sprung matress we have at home.....
