Looking at the feedback other people had left in the cottage, the shower issue and the fact the bath plug was faulty had been mentioned before and not been actioned so it was annoying to say the least. In addition the garden was unkempt , the grass hadnât been cut and as a result we didnât sit out in the garden which was a shame. As part of a welcome pack they include dishwater tablets but there is no dishwasher ?! This has also been mentioned previously. The front door lock/ key is really stiff to open and therefore could be a risk if there was a fire. This has also I believe been mentioned before. The cottage is lovely but it is these things that let it down.

Would definitely stay there again, had enough space to move around in. The property has an enclosed garden which was great for the dogs. The only gripe was that some areas of the garden needed cutting back/tidying up. Bug would definitely recommend to others to stay. The Pub directly opposite didn't create any extra noise and the food was great.
