Susan
The property owner was very helpful and welcoming. It was good to have back garden and a space to park. It would have been nice to have wood supplied for the open fire, especially over Christmas period. The noise from the road could also be improved with secondary glazing in front room and front bedrooms. Other than that very comfortable.

The traffic noise was an issue for us, it is constant even through the night. Secondary double glazing might help. Cottage itself was lovely and clean and the back garden nice and secure for dogs. Will certainly visit again.

The cottage had everything you need and the enclosed garden with parking space was a bonus as we had our dog with us. A nice touch to have the little welcome pack and the owner is easily contactable if required.
