8/10 Good

Nice quiet location with good dog walks from the door.

Nice quiet location with good dog walks from the door. Sadly the pub was closed for annual holidays, but plenty available nearby. Overall the cottage was quite comfortable, but it was not very clean in places and crockery had been put away dirty.
