Nice little cottage tucked away from the high street but only a short walk to the shops and pubs, A bit dusty in places with lots of cobwebs in the eves upstairs but generally clean and tidy. The living room is small but cosy, kitchen has everything you should need even for a long stay. The bedroom has good storage however the bed frame feels worn out and creeks even when turing over which could wake a partner up. I only down scored overall because we had no hand soap in the bathroom when we arrived and half a toilet roll other than that it was good value.

Gorgeous cottage, had a lovely stay. Really cosy and comfortable! Lovely bottle of bubbly on arrival which was a nice surprise! Very quiet and quaint. Although there was a power cut one night which was a bit scary but was fine after ten mins! Would 100% recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

I thought the cottage and location was lovely, and the cottage itself was very nicely laid out and very clean. We had some lovely walks with the dog, and the shops and pubs were within walking distance. However there was no getting away from the musty smell which I believe was the settee and chair, which to be fair the settee was very small and not very comfortable to lounge about in for two people. Would have been nice to have a bit more garden segregated off at the rear. And it is useful to have a viewing mirror so you can safely pull out of the drive. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would consider coming back  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
