On arrival, the parking space was great. The tea, coffee, biscuits etc were a lovely touch. The house was very comfortable. It had a well stocked kitchen. The beds were fine.

The property is in a great location and had many pros, such as private parking, fenced garden, freezer, well equipt kitchen, porch when coming in to take off wellies and washer/dryer, comfortable beds, welcome pack.

Very handy location for village shopping, eating, bus transport & walking. Plenty of fridge space and nice outdoor garden space with table. The one big bed in the house is ridiculously high off the ground and really spoils the use of that room.

Great location for town with a parking space. Fairly basic cottage but has everything you need. The main bed was very uncomfortable and needs replacing. We have stayed previously and felt it was good value for money, however, there has been a big price increase for 2023 so we have chosen a higher spec cottage for near enough the same money.
