The bathroom bin wasn't emptied and it would of been nice to have received a welcome pack and maybe some treats for the dogs but the location and accommodation was lovely

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The owner Veronica has spent a lot of time making the cottage a fantastic place to stay. Everything from the decor, kitchen equipment and bed linen has been carefully thought out. Everything was immaculately clean.

Comments are going to vary according to the physical ability of the visitors. The main seating in the lounge could be higher more especially the single chair. The glass tables are fine but the one by the wall on a plinth with light was unstable and it needed care when using it as an assist in placing any weight on the side nearest the wall.

Truly beautiful location and superb accommodation, only noise in the evening is from Curlews, Geese and Pheasants. Veronica and her husband couldn't be more welcoming and have created an incredible holiday location.

Excellent cottage, boot room entrance ideal, then you walk into the lounge and the kitchen which can only be described as providing the wow factor. Underfloor heating was brilliant. Didn't use the log burner but wood for one use was provided and it would look fantastic. The second shower room and toilet is down stairs. This was locked, unavailable.Read more If you need this make sure you ask for it, we didn't need it so didn't bother. Would definitely recommend and we intend coming back next year. Hide
