Lovely little village but everywhere closed very early, even the takeaway closed at 10pm, not a soul
Lovely little village but everywhere closed very early, even the takeaway closed at 10pm, not a soul on the street after this time. The cottage was lovely and. very comfortable and in a great location to explore the surrounding areas.

Lovely little stay and great location.
Lovely little stay and great location. Was slightly noisy being next to the back of the pub when they were clearing bottles etc - but only for short bursts which did'nt impact the stay. Would recommend to others.

The reviews I read on the Internet were a bit unfair.
The reviews I read on the Internet were a bit unfair. The beds were very comfortable. The cooker top was a bit temperamental but if you switched it off at the main switch and then on again, it was fine. Everything was very clean when we arrived. The pub kitchen staff work next door and someone brought a dog which they locked outside in a small gated area. It started barking at 8.30 when anyone walked past. It also barked as we went past,sounding very unfriendly. Could be quite frightening for young children.
Good location - but can hear people sitting out at rear of pub - heating not fully working and thermostat & fusebox makes a loud noise when heating turned on. No curtains only light coloured vertical blinds in main bedroom so very light in the morning as the sun comes up. Other bedroom not bad as dark coloured blinds - not as bright.
