Deceptively spacious and beautifully presented
I had a worry that the cottage might be a little small but we had loads of room due to the layout being over three floors. The decor was smart and we had everythign we needed. It was very hot the day we arrived so it was particularly good to have the lounge in the basement. A few little niggles, none of them dealbreakers. There was a lot of noise from the pub at the back on Saturday night, which was annoying. While everything was very clean, the towels smelled a little musty. Parking was a little challenging but we had been given information about alternatives, which was fair enough.

Love cottage - amazing location.
Couldn't have been better. Everything we need and space for everyone. Location perfect for walking from, exploring from by car and going to the pub for refreshment after all that stuff!
Everything was super smooth, from transactions, arrival access and through to checkout. Very nice cottage, with all the mod cons in perfect condition and location. Thank you.
