Great location. Generally well equipped cottage. Lovely having a little enclosed garden for our dog. Only issue was the poor state of the windows. Some we felt were unsafe to open. Therefore 1 star deducted from review. Would stay again

A pretty cottage near beautiful countryside. It is right next to a surprisingly busy and noisy road however. There were a few light bulbs not working which, for the price, should have been sorted. Overall though I would recommend the cottage and we had a pleasant stay.
