The location was lovely along with the views from the back of the cottage unfortunately the property wasn’t as clean as expected with dust and cobwebs in various rooms, a refresh would help. We also had issues with parking with the neighbour knocking on the door twice regarding access to the garage which he rents, he also straddled the parking space. I think better communication around the parking and garage before arriving would help and the folder with all the info needs to be reduced as some of the detail is duplicated.

I stayed here with my children for a week. It is well-equipped on the whole. The location is lovely. The local shop and pub are close. There is a footpath across the road, that you can follow through the fields to Clapham. The bunk beds in the front bedroom (no pictures on listing) don't have much head room. The ensuite in the double bedroom is good (again no pictures on listing). The parking is in front of the middle garage at the end of the terrace (not mentioned in listing). The windows, and some other areas, need a right good clean. Overall, great value for money.
