Its not obvious from the photos and description how crapped the court yard is, its almost all taken up by the hot tub. If you use the hot tub you can be see by people walking on the path which is only a few feet away as is the road which is busy with, Lorries, tractors and cars. There is no privacy which stopped me using the hot tub. The accommodatRead moreion is nicely presented and clean. Hide

This is lovely compact / bijou cottage for a couple . In our opinion it is not suitable for large dogs due to limited downstairs space ( no direct access to grass/ garden either ). Stairs unsuitable for any one with mobility issues .

Good location in a quiet village. The hot tub was lovely. The bathroom was good with a lovely large hot shower. The bedroom was big with a very comfortable bed. The stairs are concrete and steep but we knew that anyway so were prepared for that. The kitchen was fitted with the basics. However I couldn't call the cottage cosy as the small living rooRead morem area needs new furniture and maybe some subtle lighting. A supply of logs and instructions for the log fire would be handy.
