Its clean, well maintained and situated for local sites. The kitchen is equipped with pretty much every need, could do with a wooden spoon. The stairs are not for the faint hearted and the only thing that let it down was the broadband which was totally atrocious. If you are looking to stream anything on the tv prepare for a very long evening while it constantly keeps loading. We tried to watch a film that took an extra hour because of this. I would recommend Littlemoor Cottage to anyone, its a lovely place to stay
