We incorrectly interpreted the fact there was a pub 2 minutes walk away which we were looking forward to visiting in the evenings. The pub turned out to be not a PUB but a bar within the spa complex which did not offer PUB food. There are no actual pubs within comfortable walking distance from this property. There is a restaurant with a bar in Hook village which was about 20 minutes walk, but not something to do at night as there are no street lights or pavements. I do think this needs to be made clear. Two features that were slightly frustrating was a very stiff tap on the bathroom sink which made a dreadful noise when using it. Also, the WiFi (which I believe the main router was in the neighbouring cottage), dropped off and would not reconnect, but not wishing to disturb the neighbours in their accommodation, put up with it.

Very comfortable. Well equipped. Donât get caught out at the local cooperative store. Prices high. Weâre blue members of the cooperative and they wouldnât accept membership prices . Had to be orange holders! So prices were exorbitant! Go to superstores if you can.

K. The listing wasnât accurate enough, we ended up bringing lots of stuff that we didnât need and ended up being supplied in the cottage including hairdryer, hand wash and washing up liquid, sponge and kitchen towel. The internet was pretty bad too, although the owner responded quickly saying it will be fixed on the same day, we had terrible internet throughout our 4 days stay. The place was clean and quiet. It would have been great to have extra light sheets to use for covers as it was too hot to use the duvets. On the whole it was a pleasant stay.
