Stunning cottage as advertised, everything you need is supplied, lovely welcome hamper on arrival. We did have trouble with the heating but the hosts were quick to sort it with no problems, the only thing i would say is change the housekeeper, we didn’t use the shower because of the grime in the tiles and the doors, altho this didn’t reflect from the overall use of the cottage but does need a good dusting and cobwebbing, in fairness seems to be a trend we find in holiday cottages, but overall would give 5*s because of location and the lovely hosts. Plus the fantastic Indian takeaway we had as recommended by the hosts

Quaint 14th century cottage modernised and well equipped. Comfortable and warm. Drive on the steep side and beside a busy road. No door leading directly onto garden, bit tricky for our dog. Handy for visiting area of local interest. Ie Flatford Mill. Owners very helpful and generous welcome pack. Very nice stay.
