The cottage is quite dark inside, could do with a sign saying mind your head on the front door as it is low and we both banged our head on the door and stairs several times The farm yard in full of derelict buildings and doesnât look good on arrival Would not be safe for younger children , But having said that we had a lovely holiday ,ideally situated from all the places we wanted to go The cottage was comfortable ,bedding clean One thing I will say is the cottage was in desperate need of a new toilet seat Although it was clean it was all stained and looked mouldy I cleaned it myself when I got there and it didnât look any better Although the owners were there we never met them they never came to introduce themselves or ask if everything was ok This was the cheapest cottage by far we have stayed in so I knew it had something wrong with it
