The cottage was clean and tidy.

The cottage was clean and tidy. It felt like a well loved home. The view onto the lake in the garden was lovely and it attracted plenty of wildlife for us to watch. With no real light polution the night skys looked great. The area directly around the cottage was quiet, a real escape. A short drive away you will find pubs, cafes and local/high street name shops.

Glass and crockery needs updating.

Glass and crockery needs updating. Lovely house worked very well with the family and the outside was fabulous when the sun shone! Super quiet location, the Lake was a wonderful feature. We were a little concerned about the ease of access to children not being sure how deep the water was and our ability to retrieve a child who fell in. Overall excellent and would stay again.
