Lovely quirky cottage in a rural setting. Absolutely fabulous pub very close - wonderful staff and food.Only downsides of the cottage were the downstairs bathroom is very small and there is no lid on the toilet seat so you have to be very careful not to drop anything in the toilet. Also only half of the cottage windows opened which was a nuisance as it was very hot when we visited.Would return to the cottage but I would make sure that I took fresh milk with me as none is supplied and there is no local shop.
