    Nice to have an enclosed garden and to stay in such a quiet peaceful environment. Jacqueline

    The parking arrangements were good in the forecourt of the owners house. The bell on the church opposite was noticeable in the quiet but was not disturbing. Our main concerns were the very low ceilings in the bathroom where the bath and hand shower were tucked under the eaves and likewise the toilet. Access is difficult for people who are less The other issue was the listing as having a pub within a mile. The pub was a long way down country lanes which are unlit and have no footpath. I am sceptical that it is within one mile. This is critical when this is a filter choice and a reason for considering the cottage,. We noticed that the information in the cottage said that the pub was about 30 mins walk while the website information at the time of booking said 15-20 mins walk.
