We had a great stay at Ivy cottage, the photos on the cottage.com website are out of date the cottage has been updated ( not sure when this was done) new carpets throughout, laminate floors in kitchen and bathroom ( also wet wall in part of bathroom , great shower, comfy beds) . The only criticism we had were some of the windows don’t have curtains on them but we managed and due to the very quiet location ( we only saw 4 people the full week we were there ) it didn’t matter, also a Hoover would have been handy.
