    The cottage was very comfortable. The site was also fabulous. The food in the pub was excellent as was the swimming pool.

  • Sonya

    Nicely furnished and comfortable beds. Too many cobwebs in various rooms and on stairs. Could do with a bigger airer for drying. Kitchen really well stocked with various cooking utensils and plenty of pots etc. could do with a few more pint glasses Thicker curtain's or blackout blinds needed in the main bedroom on the skylight. Really only 2 bathrooms as top floor is just a toilet in one room (no sink) and then sink and shower in opposite room.

    ! So relaxing, The balcony at the rear was beautiful to sit in the sunshine each morning with our hot drinks. I can’t say enough about it, it was one of the cleanest holiday properties we have ever stayed in which made our holiday perfect. We loved its quirky upside down living, decorated to a high standard with beautiful pictures of local areas of interest. There was WiFi too which was a bonus! The owners are lovely people and do everything to ensure you have the Best time! Thank you again.
