Great accommodation and very well equipped. Lisa the owner was very helpful and let us know there was a problem with the boiler on arrival. Our only comment would have been about the noise from the pub below at night (especially on New Years Day night) but we knew we were staying above a pub so it is to be expected

We had a fabulous stay. Recommended to family and friends. The kitchen was very well equipped and the finishing touches like dish washer tablets and washing up liquid was much appreciated. As was the wine. Thank you very much

Apart from some noise being heard in some of bedrooms at night the cottage was a good size and very well equipped for our family of 10. We enjoyed our weekend
