We had a lovely week staying at Monks cottage. It's located in a quiet area but still close enough to shops,pub and restaurants. The garden was an added bonus which our dogs loved and looked well cared for. The downside was the very slow WIFI, no reception on phones inside either. The ceilings are very low and we did bang our heads a few times. Clattering up the stairs with the hoover was very challenging as steps very uneven and low doorways. Only had to do it once though so all good. Would recommend if you can live without proper WIFI and are the size of a hobbit.

The cottage could do with some TLC. Mirror’s left on windowsills with sun reflection these can cause fires, not good with a thatched roof.

Quirky cottage in a fairly isolated location. The local pub, the Williams Arms, was very good but walk is down/up very steep hill on narrow road with no pavement. Cottage has good facilities, except wifi. There is a router but still the signal is very weak. There is a tiny tv which has Netflix but the signal wasn't strong enough to actually launch Netflix. Heating is storage heaters so very little control, 2 of the bedrooms were incredibly hot!
